Create a shell company with an X$ investment.

Have the shell company write code. (Or more risky pay your company to write code as a work for higher.)

Devolve the shell contributing its assets to OSS.

Take a X$ loss in that year.

Argue that it is perfectly legal to the IRS.

I wonder of you could also just pay bounties for specific features to be written for OSS.

Or have your shell company operating out of any other country.
