How about actually funding opensource project mantainers? We have non profit orgs, that eat billions of public funds. We spend biilions for influencing hardly measurable metrics, with very nebulous benefits in far distant future.
Direct sponsoring of critical projects would have far better and concrete benefits.
Does anyone know what “agent tea” is in the second graph? There is a paper about a protocol but it seems a bit obscure to be featured in this context and the other two points on the graph are models.
The cathedral and bazaar simply isn't the magic this article treats it as. And ESR, a human molerat who publicly premeditates murder on his blog, certainly isn't either.

The "cathedral" in ESR's essay wasn't proprietary closed source, it was the GNU project.
Most of free software (incl the BSD stuff) was like that. The bazaar was an attempt to characterise the new new linux style way of doing it.
Makes me realize that "Worse is Better" was, in today's terms, apologism for vibe-coding.

I think the graph is getting cut off for you - for me it reads "Agent Teams"
