No, it's not a community service, not really. It's a happy byproduct of some very powerful companies.
- philliphaydon 8y agoHmm that report is confusing. I thought the fact it said sponsoring meant money donated to the linux foundation. But page 14 of that report seems to imply it’s changes contributed to the kernel. Not money.
- zzleeper 8y agoThey're paying for full time devs to work on the kernel. That counts as sponsoring on my book.
