So don't try working with OSS.  Open-source developers typically work under
different constraints to proprietary developers, and you will almost
certainly be unsuccessful if you attempt to impose a different set of
constraints upon them or assume they have the same priorities as
proprietary developers.

If you need people to work for you, hire them.
