I don't know if FFlabs publishes the payments it makes to its consultants, so 
I can't answer your question. But it sounds odd, as I would expect that that 
would violate privacy laws. All FFlabs seems to publish is who their 
consultants are, not what they work on or for.

In most countries, individual income is more or less confidential while 
business contracts have business secrecy.

Even here, I know at least one of my colleagues has applied to have their 
taxable income delisted on the basis of GDPR.
