Yes, definitely.

We recently open sourced "Audit Surf" (under GPL), and Alfresco SURF
app displaying information on how you use your Alfresco repository:
http://forge.alfresco.org/projects/auditsurf/
(Alfresco is GPL'd)
(that's not our first contribution to Alfresco though, we also
released the "trashcan cleaner" 
http://forge.alfresco.com/projects/trashcancleaner/
a while ago and even the original "category navigator" that's now
built-in)

We also released almost a year ago the French language pack for
Pentaho 1.7 under GPLv3 http://code.google.com/p/pentaho-french-translation/
(Pentaho 1.7 is MPL'd)

I'm currently writing a "toolkit" for our GWT projects (you know, all
this MVP/DI/EventBus/Place buzz ;-) ) that I hope we will open-source
soon too (I'm pretty happy with my "Place" module ;-) )

I'm not even talking about our contributions to other open source
projects (besides code: bug reports, debugging, documentation, etc.):
Open Layers, Spring.Net, etc. (and GWT, of course ;-) )

So yes, definitely, we LOVE open source, and our answer is not only to
use it and encourage its use, but also of course contribute to the
community (we were the one behind the very first French Alfresco
community: alfresco-fr.org, now discontinued as Alfresco has
"integrated" it in its own wiki/forums)
