David,

A bit unfair to call Linux "mobilized" when Samsung's "sponsorship" only
amounts to 3.4% versus RedHat's 25.7% and The Linux Foundations 12%.

Also, the image in your blog post should clarify that the "top 10
developers" only measures from kernel version 3.2 to 3.10.

Reading deeper into the report, the most pleasing aspect for me is that
people doing Linux kernel development for "free" - i.e. not aligned to any
company is still the largest "block" of developers.

Another interesting thing was that Ubuntu - probably the most well-known
desktop Linux - doesn't appear anywhere in the report.
