It is a pretty common issue amongst FOSS software. I always make a point of telling management, "Hey, if you want X feature done now (say multiply blended transparency groups), then donate some money or contact the lead developers and get a price for the custom work. If you aren't willing to put money on it, then you'll have to wait for the developers to get around to it. There are doing this in their spare time and most likely cannot and do not make a living off of this." If I had enough knowledge on the language at hand and the area (PDF/Flash manipulations) I would donate some time myself, but alas I do not have the skill set.

That's a good enough incentive? Wow!! ;o) Now.. if you were to say donate x Euros per PDF page tested. maybe that'd be a way better one! ( Why is it that web sites with a commercial bias/angle still expect to be given stuff foc, and invariably want it yesterday? Or am I being a little unfair?)
