It hasn't. From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing>:
| The difference between crowdsourcing and ordinary outsourcing is that
| a task or problem is outsourced to an undefined public rather than a
| specific other body. The difference between crowdsourcing and open
| source is that open source production is a cooperative activity
| initiated and voluntarily undertaken by members of the public. In
| crowdsourcing the activity is initiated by a client and the work may
| be undertaken on an individual, as well as a group, basis.
