Really? Everyone's cares are different, but I don't like contributing my time and programming output for free to proprietary software, for it's owner to make money off my work.
I don't mind contributing to open source, where anyone can make money off of it with no special privileges to some. It feels like contributing to a commons.
But contributing to proprietary software without getting compensated feels like getting taken advantage of to me.
