I don't think it's always money. The point made by Raymond, Perens, and 
others early on was if you insist on a purity test that excludes 
commercial enterprises you're cutting yourself off from a considerable 
pool of talent. You can see that with the very short list of FSF 
'approved' distributions. 

Two examples of free and open source framework, bot of which use the very 
permissive MIT license, are Angular and React. Angular was developed at 
Google and React at Meta.

jQuery isn't as clear cut. Resig developed it when he was a student but 
continued to develop it while the Mozilla Corporation was signing his 
paychecks. 

VS Code is a proprietary product developed at Microsoft but Code-OSS is 
open source with the MIT license. The major difference I've found is Code-
OSS has its own extensions repository that doesn't include proprietary MS 
extensions or developers who only placed their products in the MS 
repository.

Remove the contributions by those evil corporations and we'd be back to 
the 20th century.
