I wonder if it would work if the governments provide some tax incentives for open source contributions similar to charity donations as well.

Prompt: generate 15k in tax-deductible open source code contributions.
Result: all of our charities are being held hostage by ransomware.

I meant something like, as a deduction from payroll taxes as a proportion of worked hours by the employee if he works on open source projects. Obviously not perfect but I don't think it's much worse than the existing R&D type schemes.
