These people are demonstrating what technology could do not only to liberate humans from want, but to enable them to thrive by creating leisure time to devote to enriching everyone's lives.
However, the Open Source people seem to be totally unaware of the resistance to their ideas coming from the existing system of capitalism which, for the few people who control it, provides them with so much wealth and power. These powerful people have no interest in designing a new social-economic system, and they will fight any attempt to change systems.
In any case it looks to me like OS's demonstration of the benefits of removing intellectual property barriers can provide the necessary foundation for a revolutionary challenge to capitalism. Their ideas about, and the benefits derived from, liberating information clearly subvert the existing assumptions about private ownership: competing over the private "ownership" of factors of production--resources, labor, ideas, etc--benefits society as a whole. No amount of media propaganda can cover up the disasters of this system which are becoming so blatantly obvious: extremes of wealth and poverty; powerlessness and alienation of the vast majority; conversion of avarice, greed, and envy into virtues; reliance on police state methods to suppress popular opposition; devastating wars of conquest; and worst of all, climate destabilization; etc.
