Why? I think its perfectly OK for big companies to use FOSS tools without contributing anything. Why do you care? Authors gave it to the world for free or they would use more restrictive licence. If the big company really wants some more stuff in it, they will probably contribute or donate anyway. To me, it seems this is irrelevant methaphysical question that those that don't understand FOSS constantly try to empose. Once you accept money, its a different game, with money comes expectations... If you can't do something for free, and you expect to be payed for everything, you are probably not the one that will advance the field. I admire people that passionatelly do stuff for nothing but pure passion and sence of accomplishment. That is the world I want to live in. Yeah, there are predators, but if you really care about it you can probably create defensive strategy to minimize those chances.
