It does seem kind of elegant, doesn’t it, in terms of aligning incentives?

Annoyed by the age gating, or feel it to be commercially burdensome? Open your source, and poof, no more mandate!

Just trying to build and maintain a cool thing, and share it with the world? Never mind the compliance burden.

Of course you do. And farmers like subsidies for corn. That's a general idea for them too. And of course you're going to say the public benefits from open source projects and the farmer will say starving no good. Middle class see, middle class do but think they no do.
