Does anyone with a greater knowledge of the mechanisms of the EU funding bodies know if I can do anything about this? For example, can I email my country's EU reprasentitve and present and argument for FOSS? Or is the funding decision here managed by a specifuc group within the EU that my representitive can have little influence on?
I'm not sure but there is an open letter that you could sign that could have some hints https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40986638
