Those in the EU do with NLNet! (Although arguably not nearly enough)

Yeah def not enough. It's funny how governments and companies are willing to pay overpriced proprietary software that even comes with no or horrible support, but when they use OSS they hardly contribute and sometimes even get great support via github. But sometimes that's also the other way around. You pay for expensive license and get shitty support even if it's OSS. Looking at you Teleport
