After so many months, and so many times asked, I still haven't got an answer if open source games are eligible...

@farooqkz Most likely they are out of scope or on the very edge of it.

@nlnet

We are working on Free & Open Source technologies that benefit other people, but we don't code them. So we get no funding.

@nicolasvivant Our current programs are research and development funds. So unfortunately we can't fund activities that aren't R&D. We would like to though!

@nlnet Seems like new code only. No maintenance.

Thereby encouraging write-only coding, and abandonware.
