No, the parent poster was right, you really don't know what you're talking about. Red Hat employs the glibc maintainer, several major gcc developers, many major kernel developers, the gtk maintainers, several gnome developers, etc, etc. They may not employ a lot of people, but nearly every one they employ is a huge contributor to open source projects. If you can think of another company which employs the maintainers or lead developers of so many open source projects, you should speak up.
