I’ve seen so much confusion between the two, at first I thought it was trolls, but it’s so consistent that I’ve begun to wonder if they actually don’t understand.

Since you didn’t disagree, it sounds like we both agree that the FOSS movement is compatible with communist ideals.
Only the theory impacts the founding of the FOSS movement so communism in practice is irrelevant.
I’ve been talking about the FOSS movement this entire time, which dates to 1983. IBM only started interacting with the modern FOSS movement in a significant way in the 90s per https://www.ibm.com/opensource/story/

Why are the donors relevant? This is like arguing that Yugoslavia wasn’t communist because they received foreign aid from the US.
“They sell support and other things” Most (all?) theories of communism don’t have currency when they reach the communist stage but if you’re trying to make a socialist structure work in capitalism it would look like free open source projects.
