The new Orbiten Free Software Survey seeks to fill this vacuum. The survey found 3,149 projects, amounting to about 25 million lines of code written by 12,706 different authors. "Author" may or may not mean a specific individual: for example, the top three authors were the Free Software Foundation, Sun Microsystems, and the University of California. The first identifiable person shows up in the number four spot - Gordon Matzigkeit wrote 1.2% of the surveyed code. The top 10% (1,271) of authors accounted for 72.3% of the code. In fact, the top ten authors alone accounted for almost a fifth of the code. It looks like the whole free software edifice is built on the shoulders of a relatively small number of prolific coders and organizations.
