8 million (~3%) towards the Linux kernel

180 million (~65%) towards ancillary project support, which includes a huge ecosystem of useful technologies around linux

Their 'corporate operations' overhead is like 5% of expenses. whoop.

[_fizz_buzz_]

Lots of opensource project use the Linux Foundation to handle their funding. My understanding is that e.g. corporate sponsors for the KiCad project will actually transfer the money to the Linux Foundation but the money is then earmarked for the KiCad project. The advantage for KiCad is then that they don't have the overhead (accounting, receipts, etc.).

Is there a description of the other projects that fall under that heading? I was curious but didn't see it skimming through the document.

And, 4% toward blockchain.

Git?

[SwellJoe]

I don't know what you mean. Git is not on the charts shown on that page, and git is not related to blockchain.
