    I would also imagine stuff like Blender and other open-source tools could use public backing. I think I mean to say if a state put it's full support of a open-source project (national politics aside) would be deeply beneficial to open-source software. In addition to regular contributors, a full-time contribution for a public university or state would be cool though I would imagine that it complicate the nature of open-source.

        I wish i knew more about global history. I only recently learned about the actual dismantling (not fall, well I guess if it fell it was pushed) of the Soviet Union. I'm sure Open-source would prosper under a Soviet-Union technology/science initiative. Which would be dope.

            Didn't the soviet union hesitated too much on using more computers?

            A legit shame. The USSR could have had the same sort of radicalizing influence on open source as they had on their geographic neighbors
