    Nice idea but the chances of that happening is close to zero.

    If you take the top 10000 companies around the world that use some open source software and count the amount of full time employees that contribute with code to open source projects I would be extremely surprised if you would reach 10000 contributers in total.

    I love the philosophy behind open source but business people doesn’t understand why it’s valuable for them to have additional cost associated with “employees helping competitors”.

    Business people are the ones pulling the strings in the corporate world.
