Re:Nobody pays for FOSS, we can force them to on Sunday September 20, 2026 @09:44PM (#49782119)
Our school system has been using FOSS products for years.

In effect, it is a donation to a non-profit organization.

However, I'm not aware of any of the creators reaping a tax deduction for their donation.

Donating a used car to a non-profit has a well established path to this end.

Are any FOSS authors using a similar method to attain some payback?

We need more of these - for pedestrians!

The French can be profoundly petty. This smells like an act of personal / political revenge. Klein has a long standing as one of France's best-known scientists and a gifted popularizer of science. If a crime was committed then it is clearly his thesis committee that should be punished.

Shall we now impute dishonor on all those whose past writing cannot pass an AI examination? Do we start with Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, George Gamow, Michio Kaku, ...?

In any case, we need to hurry. You may not care, but there is some jackass in France who is losing sleep.
