      I feel like many in open source don't consider companies hiring people to work on projects as "sponsoring". It's arguably much more effective and it's costing these companies more $$$ than most money sponsorships.

      Yeah. FB sponsors a ton of OSS.

      Yup, everyone ignores the salaries + benefits of all the employees working on this stuff, Facebook-created projects and others. Tens (hundreds?) of millions of dollars.

      This is the dark matter in the "open source funding crisis" narrative. People claim companies are mooching off of OSS, when the biggest single source of OSS funding is sponsored time from companies.

          I think the benefits of sponsored time are becoming more apparent as more people are quitting their jobs to work on open source, and having great difficulty relying on opencollective/patreon to fund themselves.

          You might be interested in a talk Yehuda and I gave last year on open source models—we touched on this topic of healthy relationships between companies and communities:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YrlsXq8gZdM …

          I definitely don’t think people mean the big ones when they talk about this. I know I’ve worked for companies where OSS was heavily used but if I wanted to contribute I had to do it “on my own time”. lots of these out there, specially in the fast moving VC fuelled economy

          Does it make sense to consider it mooching if small companies don't have the resources to contribute back to OSS? Isn't that kind of the point of OSS?

          OSS is not shareware, ya know?

          But of course, I'm a strong proponent of even small companies giving enthusiastic employees time to contribute back. Big win-win.
