No paid contributors? So, projects like Vue would not qualify because Evan You gets paid through Patreon? What about open source contributors from companies like Facebook or Google? They get paid.

It's hard to imagine a single open source project that doesn't have some sort of commercial contribution or sponsorship!

edit, response to detaro:

FB and Google should definitely pay to host their own projects, but many of their engineers contribute to projects all across GitHub!

Why shouldn't Facebook or Google pay for code hosting if they want more than the free plan offers?

There is no limitation on resources / seats etc on the free plan. The plans are all feature based
