This is also partially true for OSS, the Sound Drivers in the Kernel. Some form of commercial company developed these drivers and sells a more complete version and does some cross-platform stuff. If you dig around the web pages enough you realize that they also do not accept any old patch. There was actually a sentance about how a patch may be rejected if it is too large - it would be difficult to integrate into the original sources (the OSS in the kernel is generated from some super-set of sources) So this seems pretty common in the Linux community.
