So that we get that positive feedback loop of like adoption begets more investment in the form of developers providing input and that that virtuous cycle kicks off.
That's where the funding goes for these kind of things.
mean
so directed fund gets into like the the direct nerdiness of this yeah so but it's uh the the reason we structure it that way is somebody has to own everything.
The Linux Foundation is actually ownership vehicle.
And remember, we separate technical governance from the governance of actually how money gets spent because we don't want this sort of pay to play
play aspect of technology that tends to screw everything up.
And so the directed fund is really like, you know, real stakeholders who really care about this tech, put money in and use it in a way to help build the market and the community and all the things I just talked about.

They said, We will give away Kubernetes, which was kind of the Borg and they renamed it Kubernetes, uh, to the Linux Foundation.
