No they don't. There are just a handful of people developing open source software at Redhat, not more than 50.
Redhat has stated publicly that they will never hire any significant part of the Linux developers.
Folks, he's trying to argue quantity, not quality nor effect. He's trying to determine whether an effort is "major" based on counting heads. And he also doesn't have much info, so he guesses the number is between "a handful" and "50" -- a rather wide range, and I've worked in several software development companies which earned millions of dollars a year with less than 50 developers.
