Terrible deal for the German taxpayer. Excellent deal for Amazon et. al.

How so?

  • Big corporations benefit from OSS that Germany would now paying to write... exacerbates a preexisting power imbalance with OSS, similar reason some projects have moved to AGPL

    • The government does not give money for this, that is not the point and is not how this works at all. This would simply make it easier to get compensated for open source contributions (tax-free, to a certain small number).
