I support this claim. However, you have to take into account that a company carries some liability which not all FOSS developer want to have. I personally, have a few open source projects that were born out of my personal need. On one hand, I'm happy to share it for free and don't expect any payment, since I would have developed those tools anyway. Sharing it is only my way to give back to the community, and it carries very small effort on my behalf. On the other hand, if you make money from a software that uses my tool, it would be kind of you to share your success somehow (sponsoring a product is just one way. Another is contributing code, for example)
