This article, while making many valid points, seems to focus on open source software for consumers - FOSS2C if you will. However, the last decade has shown an incredibly rise of open source solutions for developers, and I think most people here can readily name five or more open source tools without which their daily work would be absolutely unthinkable. And in these areas, points 7, 8 and 9 (regarding lack of innovation, monocultures and lack of goals) are simply not valid, 4 (meritocracy) is not as bad as in projects that have been running for several decades (who would have thought?), and 1 and 3 simply don't matter.
