while i agree that open contribution software is a genuine good for this world for the reasons you enumerate, it is a _subset_ of open source software. OSS by itself does not imply that the author wishes to manage a community around the code they are freely giving. this common conflation causes authors to abandon or suppress ever releasing their source openly.
