  It's not communism unless there is force involved.

  It's like a sci-fi version of Open Source Ecology. https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Open_Source_Ecology https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Open_Source_Ecology

    It is an evolution of it! I came across OSE years ago and felt it didn't go far enough. I just released my first podcast if you're interested https://youtu.be/52J6vlS4US0 https://youtu.be/52J6vlS4US0

Totally agree! We need to reorient our mindsets to sharing knowledge instead of locking it away under the banner of capitalism.

  I'm not quite sure why you view open source and capitalism as being in conflict. If I'm buying a mouse, I'll pay a lot more for one with an open source firmware, schematics, and design. It costs no more to product. Mostly, there are problems of mindset. In most industries, keeping this stuff secret has minimal competitive upside, and a lot of downside.

At least open source everything paid by the public: https://publiccode.eu https://publiccode.eu

If anything, open sourcing hardware designs makes more sense than software. Seems like there's a much higher barrier to manufacturing than compiling something.

That's just a random rant. It doesn't make any sense to open source everything. It's like saying let's set up laws to ban any licenses except open source. Why? Because you think or feel this or that? People should do what they want as long as they don't violate the rights of others. Who gives a crap what licenses they use as parties in consensual private transactions. Mind your own business.
