See for example Asterisk (open source PBX); it's hosted by Digium (maker of hardware for telephony). In their repository, other companies are developing different parts; like xorcom (another hw-manufacturer) etc.. besides the open community. Sure, there's a high threshold to actually code for asterisk, but there's still a lot of single developers doing it. As implementor on two companies, I've fixed bugs and extended features on paid dev-time.... There are also open source projects where several companies put in developer time.
