this is such a great initiative but I fear this may get exploited without proper structure.

Yeah, I don't really want to subsidize people to work on open-source shitcoins for example. The devil is in the details here.

>>presen+N2
I think that the problem is that "open source" in itself is not volunteering.

Just like "masonry" is not volunteering, even though a mason could volunteer by building an orphanage pro bono. But when they build their own house, it's not volunteering.

I don't even think that being paid for building an orphanage counts as volunteering... does it?

>>presen+N2
Subsidize?

What? How are you subsidizing anything when it's just recognized as volunteering?

You can at most put that on your Einkommensteuererklärung for a deduction on taxes...

Calling that's subsidizing, idk man, feels massively overblown?

And the Steueramt would have to agree with your statement, which I doubt it would for 99.9% of software.

The exploit-ability of this seems severely overstated here, but I'm not a lawyer so maybe y'all know something I dont

>>ffsm8+wC
Tax breaks are very much subsidies.

>>accoun+nL
A thief only looting half your house is a subsidy.

If the thief keeps looting the full house of others sure. Even more so if the thief uses the loot to provide services you rely on and society as a whole has decided to give the thief the right to loot part of everyone's house.
