In the first instance science is founded by the whole community in a state or most of all via taxes, but also in an abstract manner since sicience and cultre are properties of the whole society. Not speaking about moral or philosphical principles. Last but not least it turns out, that commercial QC programms grow old and get inflexible much faster than free codes. Of course its a pity, that able scientists who work hard to contribute to high-level computer programms cannot earn their money more easily. best regards
