=46rom a point of view a political sciences theorist might assume, fascism an=
d socialism are not that far apart. Both need to abolish individual liberti=
es quite soon. Which is what you seem to claim ... abolish the right of the=
 individual to make contracts based on his/her terms.

BTW, I do not believe that many open source users would accept a
serious decline of their civil and legal liberty. So I do not believe
many are really more than cherry-picking socialists, even if calling
oneself socialist is somehow en vogue. We could debate anarchism,
though, ... ;-)
