Can you name one open-source project "used by millions" that does not have corporate sponsorship?

OBS and Audacity (until recently) are two off the top of my head. Plus a lot of Linux components are run solely by a couple people, and those are run my millions of programmers.
This implies corporate sponsorship is a requirement for, as opposed to result of, a projects usefulness. That has not been the case for most valuable open source software.
