That's fine for OSS projects like DDG for Android or Firefox, but do you really feel that way in general? You can be passionate about a project, but to give away your time, sense of ownership, control, and credit to someone else's proprietary startup company? Fuck that. I'm not doing that unless I really feel a hire is likely. I've actually thought about building Android apps for a few web services I like, but the motivation simply isn't there when what you lose from doing it is that great.
