If this becomes a cultural thing, part of OSS, then more employees inside big companies will start to advocate for funding the OSS they rely on. Companies found to be profiting of OSS, while keeping a closed wall, complaining, but not contributing patches or funding, will lose market mind share, and a percentage of the best developers.

Seems doable, but still hard without centralized control and PR.
