That is not really how it works though. Look at the amount of limping, poorly implemented FLOSS software there is out there where the maintainers show no interest at all or there is no funding to support it. Look at the whole OpenSSL mess a while back. I honestly prefer to pay a vendor who will (a) complete a product until it's usable (b) be motivated to maintain it because they are paid and (c) be motivated to maintain it because they are scared of the bad PR of not maintaining it.
