I don't think there are that many companies with ~10^8 LOC code bases in the world, let alone for a single product[1]:

Facebook(webapp): ~310^7 LOC Linux Kernel: ~210^7 LOC Windows XP: ~5*10^7 LOC My impression is that 10 million LOC codebase is relatively common... but past that the size of the organization (company or volunteers) needed becomes a major sorting criteria.
