You want the gory details?
Oscar started as a pet project while I was working in Berlin as an
assistant professor, so it was indirectly funded that way for about a
year and a half. For about 2 years after that it was directly funded by
my responsibilities in the LSR-Adele group of Grenoble University. For a
large chunk of the last calendar year, I worked on it on a volunteer
basis. I currently have a half-time position back in the LSR-Adele
group, part of which includes support to work on it.
No one else has ever been paid to work on Oscar per se, although people
are certainly paid to work on creating bundles and services and other
research on top of it. Most of the work in LSR-Adele is from students,
though, and we don't really pay them, they are slave laborers. ;-)

working on oscar, or is this fully voluntary?

Well the question is: do you describe Felix as an OSGi framework
implementation or a framework which implement portions of the OSGi
framework specification?
I desperately hope it is the former. Otherwise it is like Tomcat picking
and chosing what parts of servlet or JSP it implements.

For the Framework, the following is optional
Security
Require-Bundle

The question is how important it is for Felix to be compliant. As an
OSGi official I would say: Paramount! However, from I guess that looks
slightly more subtle from Richard's perspective. :-)
Kind regards,
