All of them who:

1)	are aware of the difference between "tactical" and "strategic"?

2)	desirous of offloading their maintenance burden?

3)	want to leverage the free code developement, which will be
	going forward, with or without them?

That's why all the companies I know of contribute changes back to free
software projects, even if the license doesn't require them to do so...
