The problem you state, free access to software, is not limited to Open Source.

Complete access to the source, rights to modify and duplicate, are limited to open source, you can quit trying to pin that on something else, all it's done with your repeated impression you don't know what you're talking about.

If you think open source is communistic because of its availability

Quit trying to limit my concerns to availability, even though nothing else grants communists and other evil doers equal access. It's also because of the endless collusion between the leftist leaders of open source and communists, as described in the article which was clearly written by 3 people I have never even heard of. I'm not the one out on a limb, I have the factual reporting of many to support my claims, while you keep slipping further and further away from reality.

So, the reason you are concerned with only Open Source and not free software, is that the source can be modified, correct? Just trying to pin down your exact problem (and not use silly association problems).

So you have a problem with the free source code aspect, not the distribution? So sharing of any blueprints, whether through the Patent system, or sharing of code source is what you want prohibited, correct?

Or, if you were a legislator, what would you do to combat "Open Source"? Your solution will help us define what your real issue is.
