At least Oracle supports open source.

Apple does not.

FoundationDB would like a word.

That sure don't look like commits to open source projects managed by other people, bucko.

That's pretty much the only product they support, no? I am no fan of Oracle (probably nobody is), but they do support some very heavy projects, the obvious ones being OpenJDK, MySQL, and the Linux kernel (mostly btrfs IIRC).

Edit: I am not really talking about WebKit, Darwin, and the other projects they only developed for themselves.

They didn’t really “only develop WebKit for themselves”: all of the non-Firefox browsers now descend from WebKit one way or another.

But, you can also look at their GitHub repositories: Swift, llvm, cups are at least three open source packages they maintain.
