     @lain It's literally true! I mean, people are working on free software for free... you can't tax that! They could have been working on a project that paid which could be taxed but no they choose free software! Imagine having a hobby passion project that you do for free!

     @lain If free software developers actually stole as little as 1% of what proprietary software companies steal from the the taxpayer, free software development would be funded for decades to come.
