Aaron Patterson, who I'll continue to use as an example, works full time on Rails while being paid by Github. Rails is not a side project for him.

Also as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, Github has published plenty of open source software. Electron, Atom, resque, and updates to git itself.

It is a side project for the company, as are all the other projects you mentioned

As I clearly stated, GitHub can not be a Open Source company simply because they hired some devs to work on Open Source

Do you consider Microsoft to be a Open Source Company?
