I think there's very few if any unpaid contributors to the linux kernel these days.
I didn't get paid for my recent contributions. And I suspect many of these 800 first time contributors that are mentioned also didn't get paid.
You are right, that many of the more serious, less casual contributors are probably paid.
I'm sure of that. Still my employer doesn't pay me to do that.
