Original title was "F-Droid Awarded Open Technology Fund's FOSS Sustainability Grant". Not trying to be tinfoily but I thought it would have been even more irresponsible to not make it clear where the money really comes from as I think most people aren't aware.

Either way, please do your own research and draw your own conclusions and I promise I have no intentional agenda in reporting this... besides transparency.

Thanks for this clarification. Certainly something to be aware of and pay attention to, but a little less instantly alarming than the OP title.
