Only skimmed the article, I don't understand how this works: There are for-profit companies that hire devs to work on open source projects? Are they earning money with something else or how do they make money from this?

[–] SqueakyBeaver@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My guess would be tax breaks or something, especially if the work is going towards a non-profit

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 2 points 4 months ago

Ah, ok. Yeah, that could be it, I was wondering why they don't just hire the devs themselves ...
