i think it’s time to redefine FLOSS: if it is funded or owned by an equity firm or a for-profit corporation, especially a publicly traded company, then it isn't. don't mean you can't make money. it just means the ownership should be either as a public good paid for with government funding, an NGO or, more precisely, a workers’ cooperative. #FLOSS should be public goods structured as #cooperatives.

If that's you, please reach out! #Search #SearchEngine #SearXNG #Tech #OpenSource #Privacy #cooperatives
