I think this is a new model of job security?
It generally looks like:
- Go to company with major growth
- Tackle a problem they face
- Leverage company resources to build a open source solution
- Sell management on all the benefits of open source
- (Optional) Wait for stock to fully vest
- Create consulting services company for the tool you built
