All donations from Meta, Microsoft, TomTom, and Amazon to @openstreetmap should be compared to their $3 mln annual Overture Maps membership fees.
(and also to non-profit donations lol, how crazy is that a German fund donated more than a trans-national corporation)
@zverik @openstreetmap the $3 million is without costs for the tech staff they are, afaik, obliged to supply.
The "issue" with the prototype fund grants that they are tied to specific roles/activities, which dare I say so, shouldn't be hi prio and which I wouldn't be spending any money on if anybody asked me (which nobody is doing :-)) at this point in time.
I would work on the reasons why we are being eaten alive by the @linuxfoundation
Software literally isn't the problem.
@weeklyOSM @zverik @openstreetmap I'm not critiquing the @PrototypeFund it simply funds what it is designed to fund, and that is not business development.
