I buy your second idea. Not sure how this funds development.
You pay a premium to have Murena/eOS/whatever it's called to be installed on your device when you buy it.
totalPrice = phonePrice + $degoogledROMInstallationPrice. Installing the ROM can be done manually or automatically. If done automatically, the money left over is paid to developers. The more phones bought with pre-installed, deGoogled ROMs, the more money goes to developers/development.If the devices are bought in bulk, they will probably cost less to Murena than what the consumer pays e.g
phonePrice = originalPrice - bulkSavings. Those savings can be passed on to development or whatever else Murena needs to fund.Anti Commercial-AI license
I can't find anything like that on their website. Not to mention they're pushing their own centralized cloud service.
I looked at their faq, I looked at their mission statement, I looked at their about us, nothing talks about sending money to EOS

@e_[email protected] does purchasing a murena phone fund the development of eOS?

On that page it says nothing about funds flowing from the phone sale to eOS.
Where did you get your original data to make the claim?
