Hi Robin Hood. I wonder about the "continue their work without the pressure to generate financial returns" part. I don't see an expectation to work on non-commercial, or socially conscious, applications, just to commit to open source (what level of commitment also being unclear). It would actually be great if support programs along these lines were being offered by governments and public service institutions, with some serious governance and transparency around the process.

Surely there are also some interesting econometrics on the "GPU poverty line" - someone has literature to share?

Yeah, this is moneyed interests looking out for their own investments instead of government acting on behalf of the public good.
