Thanks for taking the effort of writing out what I think.

This all-pervasive thinking that if a company employs some people to work on some community FLOSS project then we should all accept that that project would never had gotten anywhere if not for the almighty capital is so stupid. Especially since if it's the reverse, like look at when Bethesda games only being a thing at this point because of its modders, but the company owns the IP so we should all thank the company.

If the community owns the IP and some companies contribute the barest minimum or even just donate to the project, boom, it's a capitalist commercial success since they "bankrolled" the project.

If it's the other way around, a company puts out some mediocre software (seriously Beth, metro cars as hats?) and the community makes it something magnificent, then again, the achievement is the corporation's, since they own the IP, right?

Most of human achievement was either independent of, predating, or even achieved in the spite of capitalist corporations. They are a tool, not the almighty saviour.
