Clown shows can be funny. This is like watching pallbearers drop caskets at a children's hospital funeral.
Too little too late. The CVE Foundation is now a thing. Link
I hope they don't drop it now.
autocorrect is so worthless now
At this point ... what stops the CVE foundation moving on as a foundation and working to find an alternative funding model?
Nothing. They should do exactly that. As usual the US government has proven that it cannot be trusted or relied on.
So... the US government doesn't have to fund it anymore? So that is an advantage for them in this situation, what is the disadvantage? Or was that their goal all along?
Usually the goal when funding stuff like this is to buy some influence to control major decisions. I wouldn't put it beyond an independent foundation, to take just one example, to drastically reduce the deadlines between confidential disclosure and public release where some government or corporate controlled organization might set some that are more made for the slow speed of large org bureaucracy.
I guess they'd rather have control than let it become nonprofit
They're scream testing the whole government, one piece at a time.
I hope the alternative new foundation comes on top.
Edit: I found a link with more info. https://www.heise.de/en/news/After-the-impending-CVE-ban-EU-vulnerability-database-goes-live-10354564.html
I can't keep going to the doctor with all this whiplash.

I always wanted to learn how to bankrupt more than one casino. Now I know.
I know it's the whole point of them doing this shit but it's getting so hard to cope with the constant fucking around. What in the fuck are we going to do? At least for now they've realized how spectacularly stupid this move was, I guess.
Flip Flop 47 is at it again.
There’s already alternatives, why not just let them take over? Trump complained about the US giving up DNS, now he’s complaining about CVE. He wants to control everything but doesn’t want to pay for it.
