The problem is that no other country has done anything of the sort. I'm sure the Swiss, the Dutch, the French, the other german-speaking countries and especially the Nordics have enough money to give a few million here and there to FOSS. But they didn't, because their leaders are just as corrupt and vile. Everybody is acting as if America is the ultimate villain: the fact of the matter is, give any of those European leaders power over America and sooner or later they would turn out exactly the same. It is in their nature. And I say this having lived in Europe for a while.
The German fund staying is pure luck since the hawks at EU are stupid. They'll come after it once they're done with Chat control.
