Donated to whom? There's no central body to receive and distribute these donations. Somebody still has to turn the indirect funding into direct funding to actually get the money into the hands of the developers building the infrastructure; your 'waste' and corruption are just moving out of the government and into whatever body you designate.
- Retric 10y agoThat's less of a problem than you might think. The most popular oss have associated non profits. Otherwise just keep the money.
- acomar 10y agoThat's true only of the most popular OSS projects but the infrastructure described in the OP is much more general about that. I strongly recommend actually reading the full paper, it talks about the difficulty in funding these projects because of it's highly distributed nature.
