Or even "we are ready to pay 3 people for a year to build that, if we don't and give you the money instead what can you do ?".

The software industry has a real problem contributing to open source, the stuff, you know, allowing them to make money in the first place.

They did open source their solution. It sounds like you are arguing against parallel development. That happens all the time in open source.

Contributing to other open source projects is very different than to open source your project. NIH is one of the worst problem of open source : companies are spending a lot of money to dev new software instead of improving existing one.
