But fundamentally communism is about collective ownership and freeing
resources from private ownership, say, the idea that all the Land
should be owned by the state, very much akin to what FOSS is doing in
technology.
I believe both your assertions are wrong.
I am not a lawyer, but I don't think FOSS is about public ownership.
BTW 'Freedom' is the *ONE* thing communism take away from you. Capitalism's
greatest gift is freedom!
One a funny note, I would say FOSS is more inclined towards socialism-
Communism: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you
with milk. You wait in line for you share of the milk, but it's so long that
the milk is sour by the time you get it.
Socialism: You have two cows. The government takes one of your cows and
gives it to your neighbor. You're both forced to join a cooperative where
you have to teach your neighbor how to take care of his cow.
