The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) says it has been leaning on U.S. companies that use open source software to plow resources back into the communities that build and maintain it. CISA adviser Jack Cable told Reuters the burden was on tech companies not just to vet open software but to “contribute back and help build the sustainable open source ecosystem that we get so much value from.”

They don't do that though.

@timnitGebru the government… the one driven by societal pressure… saying it’s the responsibility of companies… the ones driven by profit alone. ideology is a hell of a drug.

@timnitGebru it’s a specific problem for open source but I see it as a symptom of a more general problem of how corps don’t interact sustainably with society.

Maybe closing that loop for a the specific problem of open source health and sustainability will inform us to approaches for the general problem.
