Woah, are you kidding? I would have died to have people dedicated to OSS I worked on! Time is money. We get paid for our _time_ at the core of what we do as a profession. This should be plainly obvious.

The alternative is Meta puts in no money to salaries and benefits for up to three individual's time on this project, or Meta puts in no money at all.

Meta is paying, one way or another, for this project.

Did I deny this?

To put it in extreme clear example, just said time for someone to punch you != time for someone to work for you, while money is same all across. I hope you don't disagree with it.
