- VladVladikoff 8mo agoYeah, I had the same thought. Expected it to be like 95%.
- tux3 8mo agoWait, y'all are getting paid?
- japhyr 8mo agoI'd be curious to know what portion of that 40% makes any meaningful income from their open source work. I would guess that most of those people are being paid a small appreciation amount for the work they're doing, not something resembling a living wage.
- johncolanduoni 8mo agoThey may be including maintainers who are explicitly employed to maintain the respective projects (e.g. some RedHat employees). This is not common, but not vanishingly rare either.
