Well, using open source software is actually a contribution to the open source culture.

Personally I am working on several open source projects (Fresh IDE/FreshLib an advanced assembly language IDE and library, AsmBB a web forum engine) and I am actively promoting other open source projects, that I am using and think they are great. For example FlatAssembler the greatest assembler ever made, RWASA ultra-fast web server written in assembly language, fossil scm a really great DVCS, SQLite (well, you know SQLite) and many others.

Also, when I stuck on some bug that no one wants to fix, I am fixing it myself and of course sending the patch to the maintainers. Recently it was a bug in the WINE project.
