OpenBSd always charges nothing back, that's an ideology (that's the way i see). The price of ideologies in a world like ours is expensive.
For instance, i am tired of seeing big players using openssh and the like. They give nothing back to OpenBSD. Probable the thrid BSD license clause should be incorporated again. This would help than with an argument for supporting openbsd. Or they advertises openbsd is being used by them, or they cash something back. This way could be a means to estabilish a tradeoff for them to decide.
