You still miss the point.

Most kernel developers don't give a damn about money. If you're in
kernel development for money, you're in the wrong game. If you want to
"weed out Linux" from "corporate America", remember

a) this is a free world after all

b) you came to Linux, not Linux to you

c) there is still "corporate France", "corporate Germany", "corporate China"
   to "weed out" "corporate America" once you made a wrong decision.
   see also "Novell, Inc., Osborne, Inc., Commodore, Inc., Atari, Inc."
   Why do you think that Microsoft is hiring a "Product Manager Linux". They
   sure as hell won't miss such a decision by accident.
