This is shit and true:

I think organizations utilizing open-source projects for their benefit are slacking off in rewarding the maintainers handsomely.

I have been working at software company which prefer to use free tools and expect perfect result. They just keep their money even for motivation own developers, what to say about rewarding free tools maintainers. No culture of consuming, no gratefulness. Just business, just making money, they count every cent, I hate this. That I can see when the goal of software business is just making income.
