which corporations arent giving back?
Even most companies with open source projects rarely "contribute" as much as have source available with a CLA.
@bagder@mastodon.social (https://mastodon.social/@bagder) did a presentation, and included a slide combo which essentially boiled down to:
Companies using curl: <hundreds>
Companies supporting curl: 0
I'm proud to announce that I've made one (1) contribution to curl at work!
Wow. Ok give curl more love but that's not all oss
Take your pick. Where do you work? If they are writing closed source stuff, there's a very big chance they use opensource without paying or contributing back.
Battlefield has parts that run on Godot.
I don't see EA on the donors page.
but they give to open source https://www.ea.com/seed/open-source
Yeah, EA may be a bad example. I have found EASTL useful.
