I'm actually more curious on why a lot of directors receive $0, while others receive almost 1M

#14> Linus Torvalds is not in charge and is no longer compensated fairly, either. The highest paid people don't even use Linux. Torvalds is no longer in the top 10 (not anymore).

It kind of looks like if you count the extra million dollars earmarked for him he would be the highest-paid person on the list?

#18What is the 181M$ mysterious "Project Support" in the graph means? Linux is labeled separately, so it cannot be the "Project".
That's revenue. This article isn't clear at all. Here's their actual tax filing: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460... More than half the money spent on Conferences and Salaries with the rest being functional expenses. Nothing in the "grants" or "benefits to members" column.

Shockingly low.
Way more people who are doing way less good (many of them are net-negative to society by a very large margin, and we'd all be better off if they stopped going to work) for the world in corporate America make way more money.
Shit, a random L7 SWE or some low level manager makes more money than most of these people.

The ones getting paid are probably working full time for LF while the unpaid ones are just on the board and presumably have other jobs.
