Yea ... that's not how a lot of the big open source software is made today. There is money behind everything from Gnome to KDE. Intel/IBM piratically own the Linux kernel at this point. The Linux Foundation's staff have been caught using Macs and Microsoft Office for most things and a fraction of their money goes to development. Gnome recently had to let go of staff. Elastic and Redis have broken their commitments to FOSS and closed their licenses .. and the OpenSearch alternative to Elastic is funded entirely by Amazon as a massive fuck-you fork to them. Mozilla is a fucking advertising company.

We're a long way from the 90s and the days of FreshMeat/SourceForge/Slashdot.

Open source is not an example of "beating back capitalism" .. it might never have been really.
