I'm having trouble chosing a BBS for a board I hope to set up for my college. But the thing I can't figure out is, why don't people work together instead of starting there own hacks?

This board looks good, as well as phpBBS which is also:
done in PHP
works with MySQL, and PostgressSQL
is GPLed

there are also about 50 other BBSes that have basically the same attributes.

Instead of developing seperate code bases, why don't the developers work together (it's not like there's a profit motive here...). At most, I could see 2 or 3 major competitors in the open source BBS market.
