Like the Linux Foundation, the Mozilla Foundation compensates every board member who works an average of 40 hours per week (though much less than Linux Foundation). A few are paid only by the related for-profit (Mozilla Corporation).pic.twitter.com/YyvSTYTQmz
The Free Software Foundation only compensates their executive director. All other board members receive $0, even Stallman, who's noted as working an average of 60 hours per week in his role.pic.twitter.com/TlKnrp3DkD
The Apache Software Foundation only compensates their executive assistant. All board members average 4 hours a week for $0.pic.twitter.com/jUl1N4VWAV
The Python Software Foundation compensates their director of operators and treasurer. Board members receive $0 for 3 or fewer hours a week.pic.twitter.com/UNRKOrOpfX
The Perl Foundation (Yet Another Society) does not compensate anyone (the most average hours per week reported is 5).pic.twitter.com/BcRRKiV1j1
Ruby Central provides a small amount of compensation for their board members (who appear to work more hours on average than board members at other, similar organizations), and their administrators are compensated for the work they do (15 hours averaged per week).pic.twitter.com/BW3wZeIk8q
Regarding Torvalds, The Linux foundation is in every aspect his employer. I guess the companies providing funds do this so that work on the kernel proceed and he can be paid without being depending on one of them. While in other cases found.s are more akin to steering committees.
That's probably true. The Linux Foundation also had a revenue of over $61 million in 2016, and they operate numerous events and manage numerous other foundations.
