WordPress, Nextcloud, XWiki, Univention, Passbolt are a few other profitable open source businesses doing well. It is possible to sell open source software :-)

Now, maybe it's not as profitable, but not every wants to be as big as Apple or Microsoft.

I remember there was also a Prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor. They were called Scarlet Caps or something similar.

Isn't that mostly funded through the proprietary jetpack SaaS?

[TheNewsIsHere]

It’s not very clear to me what the exact funding model is, but I don’t think if Jetpack went away it would make a seismic financial dent in WordPress.org.

A lot of that sponsored core development comes straight from Automattic, which gets revenue from WordPress.com, WooCommerce paid services, Tumblr advertising, and Jetpack too.
