it's not just what you "sincerely think"! I most certainly think, you have 
a valid point.

from http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_goals:

Google Summer of Code has several goals:

  - Get more open source code created and released for the benefit of all;
  - Inspire young developers to begin participating in open source
    development;
  - Help open source projects identify and bring in new developers and
    committers;
  - Provide students in Computer Science and related fields the
    opportunity to do work related to their academic pursuits during the
    summer (think "flip bits, not burgers");
  - Give students more exposure to real-world software development
    scenarios (e.g., distributed development, software licensing
    questions, mailing-list etiquette).
