> 82 percent of Maven Central demand comes from fewer than 1 percent of IPs

This is interesting, and the author goes on to say that 80% comes from the largest cloud providers. But I wonder how much of that is coming from CI pipelines and how much is actually the cloud provider's usage?

Almost 100% of it. If Sonatype or the PSF want to start charging the major cloud providers for bandwidth because they can't be bothered to cache the content, that's not unreasonable but any associated costs will be passed along to consumers (which is also not unreasonable).

When looking at the OpenBSD Foundation list of donors, I can see Microsoft has giving a decent amount to OpenBSD over the years. I assume for use of OpenSSH. I have to give MS credit for this.

Now for a different company, IBM is completely missing and they use OpenSSH everywhere, even on AIX. And now it is even more glaring since they own Red Hat.

Yes this is a small "survey", but it shows not all large companies donates to projects that are really critical to their products.

So yes, at the very least, if your company depends upon a Open Source Project, you should throw a bit over the wall :)
