Hi,
Currently in germany there is a discussion for public sponsorship of game development. The government decided to start a program to support cultural valuable games.
I wonder if this could be used to bring free game development into the debate. E.g. one could demand that one criteria for such sponsorships should be free software. One could also think of things like "if you take support from this program, you'll have to release your source under a free license x Years after the release".
