I don't understand why do you think making something open source makes
you lose control of it? There are hundred of open source projects out
there that prove this not to be true. Just look at GNU Emacs, how many
features went into GNU Emacs without Richard Stallman's blessing?
PHP's being open source has not exactly stopped people from
contributing, has it?
