One of the things that interest me about the use of f/loss in business
is that, by it's very nature, f/loss is about giving and sharing.

Not all businesses are software houses, so aiding the development of
open source software is not really an option.  There are other ways they
might give back to open source though, I think.

Something along the lines of "adopt-a-project" might work here, where an
adopting business hosts (but does not have absolute control of) the
site.

Just a thought.
