Google put $5.6 million into this year's Summer of Code. Red Hat just
reported $500 million quarterly profits, and they make plenty of GPLd

they're even stodgier than IBM these days.
But the jewels of Google's crown are most assuredly "closed source" !
And Red Hat's profits aren't from their source code, or the selling
there of. Nor is IBM or Sun. Both of them have "side projects" under the
F/OSS banner, but they don't put their company at "risk" with F/OSS.
