FLARM is a private enterprise and deserves to reap the rewards of its work.
FLARM is a optional instrument for pilots, not a mandated piece of equipment. The issue with contest pilots being required to use FLARM is an SSA matter.
I would hope that glider pilots choose to install a transponder BEFORE they add a FLARM to their aircraft.

Out of ignorance and curiosity, what are the relative proportions of glider collisions in the US between gliders versus between gliders and CA/GA aircraft?
