    My guess is a corporate matching gift on employee contributions.

    A single employee donated and did the paperwork to get matching funds.

    The first time I looked into this, I thought it was fake, but turns out I was checking the wrong year.

    • 2023: $250–$499
    • 2022: $1,000–$4,999
    • 2021: $1,000–$4,999
    • 2020: $250–$499
    • 2019: $1,000–$4,999
    • 2018: $1,000–$4,999

    I appreciate them donating at all, but that’s about the price of one Macbook per year - my girlfriend’s most recent Macbook was $5,500

    Edit: It looks like these donations may come from Apple matching donations (pdf warning)

    And yet it is still a prevalent idea in FOSS that open sourcing without restrictions on corporate use will karma back to you positively somehow.

    Non-corporate FOSS should be way more popular.

    Seems appropriate for a generous pizza. You developers love pizza, right?
