I write web-based applications, and it's not uncommon for me to release portions of my self-written libraries as "open-source" - I ALWAYS find that I help others get their job done better, and they almost ALWAYS improve the code in some way - add features, improve security, etc.

Of course, there's a far cry in the difference of complexity between my web-based development project(s) and libraries, and netscape - but I don't see why the methods of open-source wouldn't scale, too.
