> But if you're making half a billion in revenue every year on top of someone else's tech, you need to stay involved and contribute back in a very significant way.

Revenue is a red herring. It is not an appropriate measure to determine if and how much one should contribute to an open source project.

Instead, we should measure the need to contribute by the burden one places on the project.

Do you request features or bug fixes? Contribute appropriately.

Do you request support? Contribute appropriately.

Do you simply copy, install, and run the existing software? No need to contribute.
