I think I don't know what you mean? Why wouldn't someone be able to contribute back?

  Sorry, I meant "weren't required to contribute back."

    Ah. I've never had a problem in practice. My personal view is that I should optimize for people getting involved. If it gets so successful that a company wants to use it without contributing back, its a nice problem to have (and it doesn't particularly bother me). I know you have a lot more in OSS than I. Has this affected you much? Would love to hear any experiences - it seems you're sour on it and there might be a story there?

      I'm planning on writing a blog post, but the tl;dr is that I'm not sure it's sustainable, because there's a whole lot of take, and very little give.
