People and companies are ready and willing to pay. The resistance comes from open source projects doing unscrupulous things like changing the license terms of the original project. As a contributor to some projects which eventually removed the open source option and went full proprietary, it's hard not to feel slighted. I didn't sign a CLA and wasn't consulted in the unilateral decision. The damages aren't large enough to justify taking legal action, but it hurts to watch your contributions essentially stolen from you.
