Government officials for republics function to serve a greatest common denominator that doesn't even exist in reality. So there's no political representation at all for free software. Well, the greatest common denominator for political representation does exist. But it by its nature excludes free software as even a talking point. Namely that capitalism is mutually exclusive from free software. Capitalism hates free software to the point that free software cannot even literally get a word, a voice, or a conceptualization that can help refine it. That leaves us with the only realistic options for supporting quality efforts in free software being volunteer work that isn't empowered. Everything goes downhill from there. Grants and company lip service are only superficial reactions to the free software problem.
