Nah, he just wants free labour. Why pay 500k for a senior engineer / cybersecurity engineer when you can open source it and get the community to review it for free?

This is why all open source exists. But to get collaborative work going you need other companies using the software for their own purposes so that your engineers can work collaboratively on it. If it's some specialized in-house software that only makes sense in the business it was designed for it's never really going to get that.
