Although I admire OSS as a concept, generally when I contribute to an open-source project it's "by accident", e.g. I'm trying to fix/have fixed a bug that's affecting me or one of my customers, and it's easier to contribute the patch back to the project than re-patch every subsequent update. It's just, pragmatically, easier to fix the whole project than just for me.
