This was just slashdotted @

and I thought it was relevant;
The Linux Foundation's report on who writes Linux - "... Linux isn't
written by lonely nerds hiding out in their parents' basements. It's
written by people working for major companies - many of them
businesses that you probably don't associate with Linux. To be
exact, while 18.2% of Linux is written by people who aren't working
for a company, and 7.6% is created by programmers who don't give a
company affiliation, everything else is written by someone who's
getting paid to create Linux. "

on-topic tho!)

HTTP 1.1 and XORP - http://www.xorp.org/ - for example.
