Doesn't happen very often, but I agree with AWS. Open source has very much become a vendor-sponsored affair and there are fewer and fewer actual community-driven projects.

The issue really depends more on the open source project. Some might have the organizational ability to receive money, direct it to worthy uses, and self govern. Others are just one person projects that will die and splinter off when the person working on it no longer does so.
