Do you see anything common in communism and open source technology?

Is the technology front also getting divided into capitalist and communist? I am market driven guy. But when it comes to technology I think open source has some of the ethos of communism. Unlike the political success of communism, open source is strongly challenging the paid software market. Why ?

I think the answer lies in the concept that technology evolution is driven by creative introspection . And open source acts as springboard to all the major creative techie brains to unleash there outputs.

How the end-user adapts this tussle will be an interesting trend to track?

Will cloud computing be supporting open source?
