Open source is much more than throwing the code over the wall.
Heck, in the early pilot days I was told by a number of Sun engineers,
that the reason things are taking time is exactly that - we do not
want to just throw the code over the wall - we want to build a
community.
There are plenty of companies that take code from the BSDs, develop
things in-house, and then only later perhaps release it back to the
community / project.
If you're fitting the bill for the development, then it's your
prerogative on how you want to proceed with openness IMHO. I wouldn't
mind some more information on these things for academic reasons, but
I'm in no position to make depends.
