I certainly don't have any corporate support. I do take interesting
PHP-related contracts every now and then, but the companies always hire me
to solve very specific problems, and not to just sit around and work on
whatever I feel like.

Bell does "officially" let me host the Canadian mirror site for PHP on one
of their servers, so that could be considered corporate support, but it
isn't something that benefits me personally.
