   Being an open-source developer myself, I can entirely appreciate that.

   The concept just seems confused, to me;  if you want to have things
developed in the "spirit of open-source" that you have elucidated, simply
request them as a feature in some kind of systematic way.  If you are
trying to create incentives of a commercial nature along with that,
then, in my view, don't make them half-assed.
