Even most companies with open source projects rarely "contribute" as much as have source available with a CLA.

@bagder@mastodon.social (https://mastodon.social/@bagder) did a presentation, and included a slide combo which essentially boiled down to:

Companies supporting curl: 0

I'm proud to announce that I've made one (1) contribution to curl at work!

Wow. Ok give curl more love but that's not all oss
