[snip] FOSS can never be compatible with capitalism.
This article is over 6 years old, but it still relevantly views FOSS from the point of view of the capitalist. Makes it quite clear there's no dichotomy between the principles of FOSS and those of capitalism.
Note: before you jump down my throat, I'm not advocating that FOSS is a capitalist (or communist, for that matter) phenomenon. Only, trying to fit FOSS into communism or capitalism is meaningless, since the principles of FOSS apply only to intangibles whereas capitalism and communism deal primarily with tangibles.
