I don't recall if he ever was paid for founding and working on the Debian project. He does earn a living though by providing commercial support for Debian and its componentized counterpart on Progeny... FWIW I think the source article the OP linked to missed the point. While Ian did talk about Debian, his presence there was hardly only for Debian; he is, after all the current CTO of the newly-formed Linux Foundation, and that I think is where the ballpark is. Debian currently operates without too much input from Ian, or from any one single developer. 20,000+ packages is quite a feat for even a thousand developers to work on. Cheers, Zakame -- Zak B.
