| What would the open source community do with that money? What could it do

| Before we try to answer those questions, let's consider how each software 
| delivery model operates.

Could governments effectively subsidize open-source development?

,----[ Quote ]
| "All students in France use open source," says Bertrand Diard, CEO and
| co-founder of Talend, a French pioneer of open source data integration
| software. "A lot of universities in the U.S., except probably MIT, use
| traditional tools like Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP." As a result, open source
| talent is more prevalent in France, Diard says; development is faster, and
| software quality is higher because French developers aren't distracted by
| proprietary and competing technology. "The culture of open source is more
| advanced here."
