Others like Linux <a href="#lee">(Lee & Cole 2013)</a> rely heavily on contributions both from volunteers <a href="#ye">(Ye & Kishida 2003)</a>, but also paid employees from companies that depend on Linux, like IBM, Google, and others.
In these settings, there are still all of the challenges that come with software engineering, but fewer of the constraints that come from a for-profit or non-profit motive.
In fact, recent work empirically uncovered 9 reasons why modern open source projects fail: 1) lost to competition, 2) made obsolete by technology advances, 3) lack of time to volunteer, 4) lack of interest by contributors, 5) outdated technologies, 6) poor maintainability, 7) interpersonal conflicts amongst developers, 8) legal challenges, 9) and acquisition (<a href="#coelho">Coelho and Valente 2017</a>).
Another study showed that funding open source projects often requires substantial donations from large corporations; most projects don't ask for donations, and those that do receive very little, unless well-established, and most of those funds go to paying for basic expenses such as engineering salaries (<a href="overney">Overney 2020</a>)
Those aren't too different from traditional software organizations, aside from the added challenges of sustaining a volunteer workforce.
