I believe "contributor" here means a code contributor specifically and not a more expansive definition of contribution.

I think the LibreOffice contributor growth speaks directly supports the idea that copyright assignment requirements to a for-profit entity significantly retard the overall health and vitality of the contributor base to a project.
