Fairy tail hour. Let's pop to hood here for a minute.
Take Alfresco, Red Hat. These are companies with regular co. goals and
open source is mainly a marketing tool to get the system out and as a
marketing tool to differentiate against MS SharePoint and MS Windows.
IBM considers OS contributions to Eclipse as strategic investments. I
had a devel work for me a couple years back who had previously worked
on just that and trust me, she got very well compensated there. Every
summer, Google recognizes that funding makes the world of OS go around
by running the Summer of Code.
A lot of good people get paid a lot working on OS projects, otherwise
there would be not much OSS worth mentioning.
