Actually, now that I think about it (and after
reading the interview), there may be a similar model

Steven Weber has written a book called :

"The Success of Open Source"
 (Ta da! )

This article is a short discussion with the author about some of the
main points of the book.

Author Steven Weber looks beyond the hype on Open Source. More than a
self-governing utopia, it's a practical, sustainable way of organizing
and innovating. Its methods may soon be applied successfully in other
sectors. Plus, a "crazy" idea for Microsoft.
