Letting folks download some source code won't help; that's not where the value is. Did you read the article? It's less about open source code than it is open

  Did you read the article? It's clearly about both, but more so I'd say it's mostly about the abstract observation that our world appears to rest at the cusp of great social change where decentralized systems with bottom-up, opt-in, democratic, geographically distributed qualities are about to usurp the balance of power from barrel-of-a-gun hierarchies such as the establishment US political / military intelligence community, which Steele pulls no punches in describing here as "working for Wall Street and the City of London". It's definitely worth reading the whole article again in depth if you missed this.
