I can see how the a libertarian at heart might rejoice in having lower taxes, but how does that same libertarian feel about less civil liberty. I seems to me that the democrats are incompatible from the monetary standpoint and the republicans from the citizen rights standpoint. Neither party is a perfect fit for you ideology.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, does anyone know of a study done on this issue. I can see myself wanting to try a publicly supported endeavor and results from such a study would be extremely useful
Also, getting donations for something that is completely non user space (ie. systems software) would prob have to come from other corporations and developers rather than end users? What do you guys think
