Lets define contributions. The author of the project can request that contributions to their official branches are done with additional permission for the proprietary version. If people don't accept, they have to fork the whole project.
We also have contributions to unofficial patches inside distribution repositories. Debian patches would for example not be able to be directly patched into the proprietary fork without additional permissions.
