You know how all countries everywhere pay taxes in order to pay for the infrastructure that supports their every-day civilisations?
How we pay taxes to pay for roads, which bring us goods to our areas even if we don't drive? Etc?
Yeah, I think it's about time some of those taxes went to the #OpenSource software that does *exactly the same thing* by being *foundational* to modern society we *all* use and rely on.
Seriously.
Taxes should support major Open Source projects.
