People love to hate on IBM, ask why it is relevant today, while several of their beloved FOSS projects are in some way, form or fashion, made possible with IBM's money.

which beloved FOSS were funded by IBM?

  • They effectively funded the legal defense against SCO that was trying to claim ownership of the IPR to Unix/Linux.

    They bought and funded (and still fund) Redhat which funds Fedora and GNOME and Wayland and systemd.
