Cyberculture is a historical moment now (God I feel old ;-) ). I agree
that the web was "open" from the start (the protocols that Lanier is so
cirtical of, and the "view source" menu option that Android's browser
doesn't have, for example), but the rigorous adoption of free software
principles and their application to what goes through the pipes
postdates it IMO.

Yes, but *why*? I think that he's a representative of a class of
cultural and technological creatives who were failed by the old system
and so are blaming the new.
