I think that's true, but I also think it's a little silly to contribute to FOSS but be unwilling to spend the extra time to use FOSS.

I guess it's kinda just sad to me that you'd be unwilling to spend the time to use FOSS while you're contributing to FOSS. If it was incredibly costly, sure, but IRC? I dunno.
