IMHO its because on the whole OpenSource contributors are not doing it to compete with commercial software, in fact many of us do this to provide an alternative to the daily pressures, restrictive working practices and profit driven project management of commercial IT. We're either much less interested in producing a competitor for a commercial product than producing an intelligent, elegant and efficient solution to a particular problem, or we're here to collaborate on a product to use in our own commercial interests, not in competing in the market place.
