germany is socialist. when you go to university, and you do something you are expected to do it for free. all the research is free. you attend university for free.
the flipside of it is that you are expected to give 50% or more of your salary for everyones and your own benefit. you have no say in it whatsoever. you cannot choose to have insurance, it was chosen for you. you are not supposed to get rich. when they wanted to get indian engineers to germany the indians said what do we get? and germany said, just the opportunity to work for us should be enough. It should give you a hint on the mindset.
i had this discussion with one of my professors, and he said yes. his salary is low, but the positive side is that he research anything he wants. he doesn't have to say what the industry wants him to say, because his funding depends on it.
it has good sides, and it has bad sides. of all the things I said, you chose to pick on the open source side of it. really.... ?
