Open source works best when your users crack open the seal and add features and fixes based on the unique scarce knowledge they have.  That scarce knowledge comes into two flavors.  First is that they are embedded in real world problems.  Second they often have unique talents.  Both of these are impossible to simulate back in the center of the project.  Open systems with liberal licenses enable the periphery to solve thier problems and exercise their unique talents.  To scratch [their] itch.

But then what?  Well I tell you what happens next: nothing!
