No company I've worked for would be able to exist without free software. Literally everything I've ever done professionally has been Linux, nginx, Postgres, frameworks, etc.

On several occasions, I've found a bug and suggested that I spend time going to the framework source or whatever to fix it. I have never been allowed to do it, we've always just worked around it. There has been no concept of giving back.

I suppose Facebook et al are probably better in that respect.
