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).
reducing taxes is giving money
Not at the scale of Aufwandsentschaedigung (well under 1000 bucks a month before tax)
So they're not losing any tax revenue by doing this?
