Non-commercially backed but... (Score:1)
They do make enough from CD sales, donations, for some time a grant from the US DoD, etc to pay for Theo to work full time, and to give other hackers some resources to work with. It is amazing how much it helps having full time employees to do the boring grunt work of, for instance, regular releases.

I remember the DoD grant. The OpenBSD donations [openbsd.org] page suggests that most donations go toward maintaining infrastructure, obtaining hardware, and producing hackathons, not funding developers. Are you aware of other resources which provide more specific details?
(I'm not disagreeing with your premise, but I'm not personally aware of any widespread funding.)
