I think that if you use OSS projects as much as the typical HN user, you should be giving money to at least some of them.
If your OSS contribution budget is $0, you're part of the problem.
The same of course applies to companies but 1000x more.

I used to make money off someone else's open source project. I offered him a couple hundred dollars and he said he didn't need it.
For the OSS projects I work on someone coming in and fixing bugs and whatnot would be more helpful.
Of course, it depends on the project, some of them do need money.
