  You do realize that a non-trivial number of contributions to Linux come from professional developers working at companies like Google, IBM, and RH?

    Agreed, a significant part of Linux's graphical stack (GNOME, mesa, pipewire, etc.) is maintained by people whose email end in @redhat.com

        Except acquisitions work out just as often as they don't.
