Medium to large organisations, in particular, tend to extract labour from consistent (if unextraordinary) output of everyday do-gooders, and not the more stochastic and volatile heroics of open-source superstars.
Sorry, I meant to say "extract value" here, not "extract labour".
But the larger point is that any successful formula heavily reliant on open-source is going to be a lot more dependent on culture, and on the strengths of individual people and their specific skills, than a formula reliant on a third-party vendor, all other things being equal.
