Except that in the case of open source, there is a clear counter argument. Open source increases developer productivity - this effect raises developer wages. Which effect dominates is unclear but I strongly suspect it is the productivity increase. The same is not true for increasing labor supply. (I do not support wage increasing protectionism as advocated by this guy, Trump, shiv sena, French taxi terrorists, etc - I'm just saying that the argument doesn't apply as easily to open source.)
