,----[ Quote ]
| Assemblymen Jonathan Bing and Micah Kellner, along with a number of
| co-sponsors, have introduced proposed legislation in New York State which
| would grant a tax credit to individuals acting as volunteers who develop open
| source programs. The idea of the credit is to ensure that volunteer
| developers, who could not otherwise deduct their expenses because they are
| not part of a 'business,' should nevertheless be able to receive a tax
| benefit for their contribution.
