I think this will become more common in the future. Big corporations who *never* give a cent (I'm looking at you Cisco and others) but use OpenSSH (for example) could sponsor the development of OSS, not necessarily Linux. I personally would love it if all the commercial OpenSSH users donated some cash to the OpenBSD guys. The battle against the proprietary Microseft monopoly continues.
