It sounds lie a great plan, well reasoned, and rational, clearly listing the costs/benefits of creating and participating in a OSS project, and astutely pointing out that any project that doesn't understand the OSS model is eventually doomed.
Its a shame that reality of OSS projects invariably comes to the boring conclusion We're all doomed. from (if nothing else) the 3 laws of thermodynamics.
But the vendor/capitalist model for software has far deeper flaws than the OSS model you've described.
