Unfortunate.

That's actually not as bad as I would have guessed.

I'd be curious to know what portion of that 40% makes any meaningful income from their open source work. I would guess that most of those people are being paid a small appreciation amount for the work they're doing, not something resembling a living wage.

Yeah, I had the same thought. Expected it to be like 95%.
