Seems silly to me. Add complexity to the tax code to give an insignificant/unnoticeable break to one of the wealthiest demographics around. The existing financial incentives for open source contributions are probably two orders of magnitude greater than this.
- adrusi 11y agoYou think existing incentives for open source work could equate to $20,000/year? Two orders of magnitude is a lot.
- MichaelBurge 11y agoIt seems reasonable that being a core developer of R could land you at least $20k in consulting contracts.
- aczerepinski 11y agoI don't know the amount, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me if the authors of popular open source libraries boosted their earning power by that much or more.
- SixSigma 11y ago$70,000 is also two orders of magnitude larger
