Possibly. The problem is that collaborative production is the key to 
Open Source's claims of increased economic efficiency.

People seem incapable of focussing on the freedom of individual human 
beings (the subject of Marxism apart from anything else...). They rush 
towards "gift economies", "peer production", "collaboration", 
"crowdsourcing", "the commons" and any other social or economic 
epiphenomena that will evaporate or become exploitative without an 
underlying commitment to individual freedom.

Do upgrade to the GPL3 if you can. :-)

Their founding purpose was to avoid mentioning freedom.

It was scaring the straights.
