> It's a vain attempt at getting contributions without giving back. I run a fair source business, and I'm quite heavily involved in FSS. I don't rely on free work, and afaik neither do any of the other companies currently a part of fair source. Regardless, the problem of "free work" is in no way unique to fair source -- single-vendor commercial open source could have the same problem. Fair source offers a lot of other benefits that interest companies outside of "free" contributions, the main one imo, being wider distribution.
