What I'm referring to is a site that works similarly to e-lance, rentacoder, etc, but is specifically aimed at free software projects.

Programmers are paid to implement a feature request, fix an error or build an application from scratch, and all code is licensed under the GPL.

It might also include collaborative/team features such as what's seen in SourceForge or Google Code.

For larger full-time projects, it might also include a job-board.

There is none that I'm aware of, but many sites (I know Rentacoder for sure) allows you to specify legal terms of the contract, so you could specify that it be released under the GPL. In any case, the work is legally yours, since it's work made for hire, so copyright becomes fully yours, so you could release it under the GPL yourself.

Now that I think of it, I suppose there isn't a need for a new site devoted to just free software, since the current solutions can be adapted.

I have heard that "Google Summer of Code" pays participants. What about OpenSourceExperts or HotLinuxJobs?
