I wouldn't consider it a truism just by the use of words like 'more' and 'fewer'. But since you gave an example, I will give a counterexample. I'm at the point where I will not contribute to projects with copyright assignment, especially those under more restrictive licenses like GPLv3 or AGPLv3. It is a sign of a person or organization which has not figured out how they want to make their money, and wants to reserve the ability to take someone else's good idea. That doesn't mean I wouldn't _use_ such software, but I look at it more as a piece of software where the installer is instead potentially leveraging CMake or autotools. There's rarely value in trying to participate in such a "community", which also tends to push further in the project being more of "published source" rather than a collaboratively driven effort. Of course, a piece of free software means that I suddenly could lose future support, and software consuming free services means I could lose current support rapidly and even be potentially strong-armed into commercial licensing as a result.
