It'd be a silly license or condition, but, a license that says employees of companies in the S&P500 cant file bugs without an $X contribution, and cant expect a response in under Y days without a larger one, would be a funny way to combat it. Companies have no problem making software non-free or AGPL when it becomes inconvenient so maybe they can put up or shut up.

Where in this bug report was there any expectation for a response? They filed a private bug report and have a policy of making private reports public in 90 days whether or not they get a response. How did the OSS world go from "with enough eyes all bugs are shallow" to "filing a bug report is demanding I respond to you"?
