    How is it boot licking to get money from rich people to develop open source software?

    Lemmy is FOSS that was funded by a grant from NLNet. Its the same outcome as this.

    If anyone is licking boots, its the rich people licking the FOSS boots

      Except this isn’t money going to a FOSS project, it’s money to some guys whose only keyboard is StackOverflow’s The Key.

          Vscode is released under a MIT license and the Continue extension is released under Apache. Neither is copyleft, so the forked codebase doesn’t need to be open source

            Ah you’re right. Blame Vscode for using MIT. Maybe now is a good time to tell them to change it to GPL, so this can’t happen again.
