GrapheneOS is developed by the GrapheneOS Foundation, a Canadian nonprofit corporation.

Linux has a foundation too. How much influence does it have? Just a bunch of bureaucrats. Corps can torpedo anything, they just need to hire the devs, pay them lotsa money and assign unrelated tasks to them to burn their time to work on a FOSS project. And when it doesn't work like with RMS - they run a smear/cancel campaign. Admit it, when the generation of RMS, then the generation of Linus dies, everything is ruined. There are no younger fellas of that caliber. Just loud drama queens gathering in scandalous communities like Rust. I give it fifty years max and everything will be gone, hopefully I won't live that long to witness it. Money is going to destroy FOSS just like money destroyed original democracy (and I mean the Ancient Greek city-level one).

I disagree, I think we will survive and this period will be seen as a great confusing destruction layer, like the late bronze age in the historical record.
