    When there are so many of us making money from Wordpress blogs, I wonder how the company itself makes money? Anybody got an idea?

    This might help answer that question in part:

    http://wordpress.org/donate/

    Since WordPress is used by employees of numerous large tech companies, perhaps they get a few decent sized donations floating in every once in a while?

    well wordpress developers make money through donation, and not only that, after having created such a wonderful php platform for blogging, they also get invited every now and then for 'biggy' projects :p
