[GUFSC] Linux now a corporate beast

[Kimie Nakahara]

Dispelling the perception that Linux is cobbled
together by a large cadre of lone hackers working in
isolation, the individual in charge of managing the
Linux kernel said that most Linux improvements now
come from corporations. 
...

About 1,000 developers contribute changes to Linux on
a regular basis, Morton said. Of those 1,000
developers, about 100 are paid to work on Linux by
their employers. And those 100 have contributed about
37,000 of the last 38,000 changes made to the
operating system. 
...

Most of the developers live in the United States,
Europe and Australia. The Eastern European countries
are increasingly involved, though participation from
Asian and Latin American developers remains rare, he
said. "
