Un petit rappel sur la philosophie du mouvement GNU pertinent sur la 
discussion
<http://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html> :

<<
[...] All sorts of development can be funded with a Software Tax:

Suppose everyone who buys a computer has to pay x percent of the price 
as a software tax. The government gives this to an agency like the NSF 
to spend on software development.

But if the computer buyer makes a donation to software development 
himself, he can take a credit against the tax. He can donate to the 
project of his own choosing--often, chosen because he hopes to use the 
results when it is done. He can take a credit for any amount of donation 
up to the total tax he had to pay.

The total tax rate could be decided by a vote of the payers of the tax, 
weighted according to the amount they will be taxed on.

The consequences:

    * The computer-using community supports software development.
    * This community decides what level of support is needed.
    * Users who care which projects their share is spent on can choose 
this for themselves.

Quelque part une des solutions originellement imaginee par RMS lors de la
fondation du mouvement se rapproche beaucoup d'une taxe numerique 
universelle
qui servirait au financer le developpement du logiciel libre.

L'ironie de la situation est que cette taxe va effectivement etre cree 
(ou etendue)
mais en partie pour assassiner le logiciel libre.
