1. define a problem
2. propose a fix
3. create a list of tasks which realize the fix
4. random people interested in the solution accomplish the tasks
5. problem is fixed, code is released as open source and now anyone can benefit
that is the basics of an open source project, to turn this into a profit generating machine I would suggest a third party which owns the created code/project
with open source the code is given to those who it can help, this option lets a third party sell it
management company gets x% and the rest is split among the devs.
as for deciding % per dev, it should be decided by the impartial 3rd party which is the company doing nothing more then selling the product.
now someone start the 3rd party company, define the % you want for management and then define the market for your services and meet competition of others who do it for less or do it better
