Google Winds Down Part of Its Open Source Bounty Program
Original: Google Has Shut Down Part of its Open Source Bounty Program
Google has shut down part of its open source bounty program, which paid researchers and developers for improving open source projects. The move affects a program that had rewarded security fixes and contributions to community-driven software. It is the latest in a series of cost-cutting measures at the company, and open source advocates have criticised the decision as a step back from Google's support for the community.
Why now: People are reacting to Google cutting funding for open source contributions amid wider cost-cutting.
