I wish there was a better solution to this crisis. There should be a corporate tax on software companies solely to fund open source efforts or something of the like.
Some open source projects have merged into one umbrella organization to better solicit sponsors but I don't think that will lead to anything fruitful, more so lead to a thing like Canonical where there's a profit motivation to the project
This is a wider problem than just software. We need to find a way for people to be able to afford doing things they want but don't profit them directly. Pure capitalism has too many bad incentives for enshittification of software, entertainment, food, and so much more.
