That could be part of it. The fact that a company is in charge of
coordinating the efforts has an effect.
In the past the main reason I didn't even investigate contributing is :
Because of the feeling that contributions are unwanted, and that someone
else is making money of of my work.
After a little investigation, I found that these wern't valid concerns, but
they are a first line of resistance.
