Arguably, Linux is developed mostly by big corporations. They just don't own it.
Pretty sure most of Windows isn't coded at the HQ, either
Yep, the Linux Foundation's reports show that ~70% of kernel contributions come from devs paid by companies like Red Hat, Intel, and Google - but the distributed nature and open governance is whats really revolutionary comapred to traditional corporate software.
I think you mean the userland, but even then big corporations are not that involved. I am struggling to see where you are coming from.
Nope, kernel developers are mainly paid by corporations.
Still struggling, getting paid does not equal big corporations developing.
Edit: After thinking some more I think what you mean is big companies contribute.
