Why does a project backed by a billion(s) dollar company have a sponsor button? The primary sponsor (FB Open Source) more than covers all expenses. The other backers kinda seem unnecessary.

Some projects have significant non-FB contributors. Funds are never for employees.
With FB Open Source more than covering expenses the GH button kinda seems ++. Is there a way for FB Open Source to just take care of this without involving non-FB company/individual backings?
Keep in mind, Facebook does donate to the Jest opencollective, and is by far the largest contributor to datehttps://opencollective.com/jest
What’s the process to get this setup? Meaning, React Native is way bigger and AFAIK it doesn’t have any sort of sustain like Jest.
No idea. There being several large businesses around React Native changes the dynamics a bit. A lot of paid consulting etc. Seems like something that should be non-FB driven. (my opinions)
I guess we’ll have to disagree. Oh well, I’m still taking a break from OSS so I won’t dive deeper. I just wish that wasn’t the answer.
I disagree with the overall sentiment that Facebook should: - Open source a project - Have employees work on it - And financially fund others too All the while other companies profit without the same level of donation and alturisum.
It’s ok to disagree as long as this could lead to better solutions for the larger ecosystem. If you want, we can pick this up later once I’m back - I’d love to talk with you more about this, you have massive years of OSS experience to back your thoughts on the subject.
(Ugh my english is so bad) (And yeah RN is particularly complex for OSS)
