I think you are leaning towards the "social contract" associated with being
part of a community.
For organisations that do not wish to participate, that is fine. Participation
is one way of minimising the risks associated with the use of open source
software, as long as they are making that decision with a decent understanding
that is fine.
The way I figure it they will get burned a few times before taking interesting
in participation :) But yeah if you are talking to managers speak in terms of
risk and change control, not community/participation - know your audience.
I think I had a rant about the social contact last year, it produced one more
tester of GeoServer - making the process of issuing release candidates suspect.

Does anyone know of a charter or code of responsible behaviour for
organisations that make use of open source technology?
I’m thinking of a list of do’s and don’t’s that would help managers in user
organisations to understand that while the software may be free from a license
fee there is a community ecosphere that needs to be supported.
