| working for more than 100 different corporations. This is the foundation
| for the largest distributed software development project in the world.
| * Since 2005, the number of active kernel developers has tripled,
| reflecting the growing importance of Linux in the embedded systems,
| server, and desktop markets.
| * Between 70 and 95 percent of those developers are being paid for their
| work, dispelling the “hobbyist” myth present from the start of open
| source development.
|
| • Who is Sponsoring Linux?
|
| * More than 70 percent of total contributions to the kernel come from
| developers working at a range of companies including IBM, Intel, The
| Linux Foundation
