For an application to be ready for customers there is usually a lot more around it. I've met the guys from codebox.io and gitbook.com and what they did with codebox was, they open sourced the web-ide, however, all the infrastructure they build around the SaaS offering was what actually made it work. While users have the possibility to help improve the essential part of your offering, it will still be a lot of work for someone else to be the copycat.
