Aren’t most/nearly all Linux kernel contributors paid to work on it these days? The majority of contributions come from corporations IIRC, not lone, independent developers.

I think there's a difference between "being paid to contribute to open-source project(s)" and "working for a company that has you contribute to open-source project(s)"

Well, if they have you do it as part of your job, what’s the difference? Like, if Intel tells their ethernet driver team, “Also make a Linux driver” then they’re being paid to do it. Only issue would be if they require employees to contribute to O/S projects on their own time.

That's a poor example as Linux drivers could be developed independently of the Linux kernel or any other open-source projects. Also Intel drivers suck balls. That said, as a company they are the top contributor to the Linux kernel:https://thenewstack.io/contributes-linux-kernel/ …

I was thinking "There's a big difference between 'working for Intel' and 'working for The Linux Foundation'" but I'm confused now. TLF is a 501(c)(6) they made $39M in 2015 but I can't find any more recent 990s...https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460503801 …
