Is this the case? Don't corporations usually sponsor a little bit at least?

money being billed

Sorry, what do you mean?

sorry must've mistyped on the phone. I corrected my post. I basically meant: corporations pay bills, without having a bill they do not pay stuff. they do not give away money if they don't have to. so paid support contracts are imho a good way for corporations to pay for FOSS. donations not so much
