I was referring to those capitalists believing in "Open Source" as a 
mechanism to provide a fair arena for competition in an uncontrolled 
market.

...as opposed to those hippies believing in "Free Software" as a 
mechanism too free the world from all capitalists, no matter if 
competing fairly or using dirty tricks.

I suspect "laissez-faire" is the wrong term for non-monopolist 
capitalists :-)
