Do open source screenreaders exist?

Are they used by anyone?

It may be more productive to petition the screenreader makers which have
products which are actually used. If there's a 1% chance you can have a
positive effect by nagging someone via email, and affect 50% of the
screenreader users, or there's 100% chance that you'd have a positive effect
by working on open source code that's used by...50 people...which is the
better choice?
