How much if any does Netflix and Sony give to the FreeBSD foundation either in fiat currency donations and/or engineering time donated?

Netflix uses it at their core for the CDN stuff. I think the core of PlayStation OS is FreeBSD. So I’m curious how much these companies are supporting the foundation at.

Both do, as does a large firewall maker (Juniper, I think). They keep certain aspects of the secret sauce back but upstreaming changes is enlightened self-interest as they don't have to apply a long series of in-house changes when an upgrade to FreeBSD comes out (Bryan Lunduke had an interview with a FreeBSD maintainer where this was discussed -- I'm not finding that on YouTube though).

Lunduke pulled his videos from YouTube a while ago. I think he moved to Odysee or another platform.

You can see large donations listed by year here [1].

It is also not just about the financial donations. These companies also do contribute back some source code. I know they do not contribute all of it back, however for closed source products to give back is a nice touch.
