I think a fair question might be: Is it (where "it" can refer to any OSI licensed work) any *less* open source merely because someone is paid to work on the code?

My understanding is that open source does not depend on volunteers. It is a mode of production, one that allows for horizonless collaboration.

Best,

Louis
