Bold stance:
If you're running a successful business that's built on top of open-source software and you're neither contributing code to these projects nor donating money to them, you're not only a freeloader, you're actually harmful to the entire movement.
You should take an interest in the sustainability of these projects as they ensure the likelihood of your own success and future.
@fribbledom it could also be simply free advertising when they advocate how great the software they use is?

@jollyrogue @fribbledom exposure is extremely valuable yes.
@Wetrix @fribbledom Yeah, which is why unbranded stuff or exclusivity costs more.
However, I have yet to find a place which takes exposure in lieu of cash.
Bottom line: Pay me. My time has value.
