I feel like many in open source don't consider companies hiring people to work on projects as "sponsoring". It's arguably much more effective and it's costing these companies more $$$ than most money sponsorships.
Does it make sense to consider it mooching if small companies don't have the resources to contribute back to OSS? Isn't that kind of the point of OSS?

OSS is not shareware, ya know?

But of course, I'm a strong proponent of even small companies giving enthusiastic employees time to contribute back. Big win-win.

Again I’m not going for small companies struggling to survive but for the middle range. If a company with 15/20 mil in VC can buy kicker tables and beer why not support oss projects?
