The gpl projects are also corporately sponsored, just indirectly.
- jcelerier 6y agoA fair amount of GPL work is done by researchers in public universities
- joshuamorton 6y agoThe same is true of non-gpl work. Half the linux foundation's funding comes from 6 companies. Not to mention the full time employees paid to work on it. And I find that there's similar patterns in a lot of other widely used gpl software. Similarly, MIT/Apache software gets tons of contributions from non-corp people too.
