Out of pure curiosity, is all the actual programming work for the foundation provided free of charge by volunteers? And the foundation expenses are mostly legal and administrative?
>Maybe the consulting section includes payments for programming work? Presumably at cheap rates, if so?
Have we reached the point on the timeline where we believe low-level operating system code should be acquired at "cheap rates"? While simultaneously, I assume, believing webshit cloud bollocks still demands top dollar?
I do not hold that belief, and nothing in my reply implies that I do.
Per the link I included, the total spent on consulting was 17,939.51 USD. So, if they were paying people, the people were working cheaply. But the consulting may have been for non-programming work. Hence my question.
It wasn't clear to me based on the financials: https://www.netbsd.org/foundation/reports/financial/2023.htm...
