I don't understand much about the finances of the FOSS world, but do companies like FUTO help at all? I don't even know how FUTO makes money, to be honest.

They're not a company, FUTO is one rich guy.

[–] TomAwezome@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

FUTO is both a company (LLC, to be specific) and a rich guy.
