We need to be communicating this to them, quantifying how their business could potentially be doing better, and offering products that they can spend money on. It's that last part that I think most OSS projects are having difficulty with.

Yeah I understand it's not as easy as i'm suggesting and I have no idea how you guys manage to do as you do even :).
I'm wondering (and of course I know little about this) if it would work doing things like: - community voting on the direction of the project or new features to be added and the top 5 get selected if there hits say 50k votes. - costs say 2-3 dollars to cast a vote. But if it's enough cash it means it won't dictate the direction of django by money or businesses and some of the cash can be spent elsewhere not just on those top 5.
So a feature could be something like "seamless upgrading from 1.8 to 1.9" which businesses might want or be willing to pay for.
