I'm under the impression that a 501c3 _can't_ spend its money on developers working on FOSS while being 100% tax deductible because of the US tax code; makes one wonder whether it would be worthwhile to lobby/organize to get that changed.

Can you elaborate as to how you arrived at that conclusion?

Naively, because it might help more pro-social and FOSS software get made?

They believed you were asking why they thought it might be useful to lobby for a change in regulations, not why they thought there was a regulation in the first place
