There are several studies about reasons that make people to get involved on FLOSS projects. But, there is not too much written on why FLOSS projects are so good bringing novel and smart solutions (well, some of them).

It is about how these people are able to focus in the problem with less worries than similar people solving similar issues under a “firm” environment. Watch the PBS video, it provides another explanation of why FLOSS brings quality.
