That could be part of it.  The fact that a company is in charge of 
coordinating the efforts has an effect.

In the past the main reason I didn't even investigate contributing is :
Because of the feeling that contributions are unwanted, and that someone
else is making money of of my work.

After a little investigation, I found that these wern't valid concerns, but
they are a first line of resistance.
