> Good luck getting the average Joe to understand why your little git repo needs to come out of his payroll. That specific problem could be solved by funding it from taxes that only tech companies have to pay. Maybe something like how FDIC works, where if you want to sell SaaS, you need to pay for some kind of security insurance from the government, and the funds from that are used to support open source projects. Of course, there are other problems with having the government do it, but I think the taxes issue is solveable. And personally, I'd rather see my taxes spent on helping open source software than military and weapons.
