Ask HN: Would your business pay for supported open source?

Some larger open source projects run their own commercial support offerings, but smaller projects don't tend to have this.

Would there be any benefit to a 3rd party company stepping in and offering a paid support contract for a wide variety of open source projects?

I'm guessing that some open source authors don't want to get into the legal fuss around paid support, so I'm wondering if there is a market gap here.
