    I am cautiously hopeful that in the not too distant future there will be elected officials around the world that see FOSS as a public good and are willing to put money into funding people who are making things that befit lots of folks.

      This would be amazing. We can dream in the meantime because I have a feeling this is a long way off. Currently, the most direct government support for FOSS is probably through public servants who use their employment to contribute to FOSS projects.
