Having a five-year plan dictating which publicly owned b2b SaaS AI service you will be provisioned sure sounds like a dream of mine. I wonder what could go wrong.

Open source is as opposite as state ownership as it is to private ownership.
Open Source comes out of Anarchist philosophy not Communist State owned type ideas. There is no direct ownership, its a project built as a common good, and owned by "the public". Its a community garden that people are free to plant and harvest as they see fit.
The concept of a common-pool resource has nothing to do with awkward radical political ideologies.
I am the furthest thing from an Anarchist, but to deny that Anarchism influenced the ideas of Open Source Software is factually wrong.

The concept of common-pool resource is the basis of the commons, the default state of mankind since its inception to recent times, and the philosophy of commons is called COMMUNism for a reason. In English, it should have been translated more correctly as COMMONism, from the COMMONS.
Correct. It is therefore COMMUNist with the correct term. That's what communism is - the philosophy of the commons. Except note that the running of that commons, which everyone uses, requires socialist practices (what you mistakenly call communist).
