WhoFundsOSS launches a public ranking of companies that fund open source

A new project, WhoFundsOSS, publishes a monthly public record of how much money companies have publicly pledged or donated to open source, counting only published figures and treating hidden amounts as zero rather than estimates. Its October 2026 snapshot ranks 200 companies out of 844 tracked, with Posit leading at $762,400, mostly its 2025 Open Source Pledge, Sentry second at $750,000 and CodeRabbit third at $602,600 across 105 named projects, drawing on sources including the Open Source Pledge, Open Collective, GitHub, and companies' own programs.
