About yearly, we seem to get another article saying "look! #BigTech are the biggest contributors to #OpenSource". These articles come across as PR pieces since they point to data saying who is the biggest contributing company without putting it into context. Like, does #BigTech contribute 0.5%, 5% or 50% of all activity? Instead the talk about things like "the top leading corporate contributors", leaving out non-"leading" contributors, non-corporate contributors, etc. https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/24/who_writes_open_source/

"NPM, Microsoft, the world's largest free software registry."
That came across as some PR piece for M$. I don't even know if it's true (and don't care), but it came across as *implying* M$'s huge contribution to Free Software.
