Good luck with forcing this on FOSS.
How does this comment even make sense. If you get it free, no tax. If you donate, no tax. If you actually purchase a service, the same tax should apply as any other service.
Your post is reaching Trump-level stupidity. Do you know what the F in FOSS stands for?
I mean... They're already basically collecting a 100% tax rate on "free". They're ahead of the curve here!
