No YC, no Sequoia, no Andreessen Horowitz or other major VC, despite VC-backed companies often using OSS exclusively, and VCs being awash in cash and likely also being clued-in enough to actually realize just how much they rely on OSS: http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Marc-Andreessen-The-Clock-Is-Ticking-On-Oracle-2303787.php http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Marc-Andreessen-The-Clock...
- embik 11y agoI wasn't expecting to see Microsoft being a gold sponsor in 2015. Good on them. Glad to see The Core Infrastructure Initiative supporting important projects beyond Linux as well.
- Muted 11y agoI'm actually surprised how small and how few donations there are from big companies. Especially since donations to openssh (and libressl) also seem to go through the openbsd foundation. IIRC Facebook and stripe are each giving $50k/year to the gpg project. No big tech company other than Microsoft is donating more than $25k to openbsd foundation (unless there are other means of donating that I'm missing).
