which beloved FOSS were funded by IBM?


They effectively funded the legal defense against SCO that was trying to claim ownership of the IPR to Unix/Linux.

They bought and funded (and still fund) Redhat which funds Fedora and GNOME and Wayland and systemd.


Seems they own Red Hat, which is some no-name company that has nothing to do with Linux.
