It is not that clear cut. For example: to which camp do you think does Linus Torvalds belong (Linux kernel / OSDL) ? What about Takashi Iwai (ALSA / SuSE)? Fernando Lopez-Lezcano (PlanetCCRMA / CCRMA)? Believe it or not but there are "commercial" software developers who get paid for writing Open Source software. And quite a few successful Open Source projects are mainly developed by such "commercial" software developers. But it is true, the number of such projects is small when you only count audio projects. I write "commercial" developers because I doubt that their only (or main) motivation is money. Cheers, Andreas
