Chances are you’ve never heard of Igalia, the open source consultancy. Yet you’re almost certainly using something that Igalia helped build.

Even organizations that don’t sponsor any work through Igalia welcome its contributions.

The hell is that supposed to mean?

Very cool company, they work on Wayland, the Orca screenreader, Vulkan, the Linux Kernel, and even alternative mobile OSses.

Their website (you might as well read their own words instead of some Microsoft people talking about what they do)

I think it means you probably use software they contribute to even if you don't pay them.
