@eskuero @postmarketOS @osuosl @alpinelinux @chimera @debian @fdroidorg @gentoo @gnome @LineageOS @torproject @ramereth is their only full time employee according to https://osuosl.org/about/people/ and there will probably be some relevant part which goes into taxes. Reading https://osuosl.org/services/ it doesn't sound that this could be easily done by some people in their free time.
