As the author of a moderately popular open source project, I have to agree. Whenever the government intervenes, they tend to distort markets and cause a huge amount of suffering. They will end up funding low quality competing projects which will harm my project by using money and media coverage to steal attention. That's basically the story of my career. The government, working with corporations have been ruining my career so far. I would be much better off if VCs and governments had stayed out of our industry entirely.
