World's biggest open-source company? Google
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux kernel is comprised of 11.5 million lines of code, of
| which Red Hat is responsible for roughly 12 percent (measured in
| terms of lines of code changed). Even if we add in JBoss
| Application Server (another 2 million lines of code or so) and
| other Red Hat projects, we're still left with far less open-source
| code from Red Hat than from others.
|
| Take Sun, for example. Sun is the primary developer behind Java
| (more than 6.5 million lines of code), Solaris (over 2 million
| lines of code), OpenOffice (approximately 10 million lines of
| code), and other open-source projects.
|
| Or IBM, with 12.5 million lines of code contributed to Eclipse
| alone, not to mention Linux (6.3 percent of total contributions),
| Geronimo, and a wide variety of other open-source projects.
