Commercialized FOSS projects with a pool of contributors have a talent pool to choose from when hiring that non-free projects can only dream of. How else can you hire someone who (1) is already familiar with your code, (2) already knows your team, and (3) has already been proven to be good at the role? SourceHut doesn't often hire full-time but we do often find ways to get funding for people on a part-time basis, and 100% of the time we already knew who those people were going to be because of their work in the community. It just makes sense.
