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.
