Open Source is not free. Projects such as this one require significant time, effort and skill from developers - some of them with highly specialized knowledge that you won't easily find in the marketplace.

Far from being merely a moral duty, giving back is a necessity. It's a practical matter that helps you, your business, and the developers thrive. It's a key element that helps the open-source projects you rely on be sustainable; so much so that I see a growing trend towards sustainability in the open-source movement. You too can become part of this virtuous cycle. Doing so will ultimately benefit you too.
