And a lot of FOSS isn't.
True, but the bigger the project, the more it's supported by paid developers. Either from some foundation or else corporate devs whose jobs include contribution to FOSS projects
Wasn't the case for ImageMagick and OpenSSL for a very long time.
for OpenSSL? UNPAID?! HOLY FUCK
Well now they got paid after the critical security vulnerability in 2014 (?), but it's basically just two developers.
Also don't confuse OpenSSL with OpenSSH
Yeah this sucks and a lot of projects backed by corporations get "shutdown" (no more maintainer) or the license is changed along the way to a closed one...
The FOSS that matters (mostly) is.
