Free Software as a political movement maybe is somewhat anti-capitalist, wanting useful software to be shared and companies to have less control in practice. Open Source however is like Free Software but made appealing to self-interested companies by convincing them sharing their software efforts can be mutually beneficial. It is no more anti-capitalist than having all the property owners in a capitalist society agree they are better off paying taxes and having a state to defend them from external threats instead of everyone having their private military.
