Open source is actually a more free market than what we have now, where most roads lead through Microsoft. By nature it is anti-regulation, which can't be bad for us. At the moment, if the government wants to, say, spy on us through our computers, all it has to do is ask Microsoft to put in the code. Through open source that couldn't happen, there would be too many products to make it practical, and because the source is open, such code could be read for what it does.
Bingo.
Though I wonder.........
Can free-market communism exist?
I doubt that golden eagle will stop going around calling OSS communism, so I guess the answer is yes.
