This is such a misleading understatement. There is a ton of money. Many of the core Postgres contributors have fully remunerated employment where much of their time is dedicated to postgresql development. This is fully deserved and appropriate - but Tom Lane, et al are not working on this for free (that they still might if they had to do is another thing) but these are all highly compensated contributors. The total payroll spend on postgresql is distributed and decentralized but it is clearly in the multimillions.
People should not be mislead about true costs regardless how they’re meted out.
