[uylug-varios] NY bill would provide tax credit for open source contributors

[Cristian Menghi]

Promoting innovation is the primary reason for this bill. Senator
Squadron recognizes the impact of open source software despite not being
a coder himself: "I represent the tech triangle and Williamsburg in
Brooklyn, as well as areas in lower Manhattan where the technology
sector has a growing presence—supporting that kind of innovation is key.
I've also seen the cost-saving impacts open source can have for everyday
users and businesses. Incentivizing open source software can attract
more open source developers, create in-state jobs, and add to the
state's burgeoning technology sector. Personally though, I won't be coding."
