@thephpf Unfortunately, this (unofficial) petition is not worded effectively and therefore futile. Under German law, individual work cannot be recognized as voluntary work in order to be tax-exempt. Only organizations can be recognized as non-profit, not the individual itself. The law (the so-called 'Abgabenordnung') must be changed so that FOSS becomes a recognized purpose for 'promoting the common good'. Only then can organizations be recognized as charitable and thus tax-exempt.
