my friend, "open source" as a concept did *not* exist, but the phenomenon of releasing code did, of course. that is also utterly irrelevant because in itself available code does not make something like the Linux kernel possible since nothing protects it. What made it possible is the *GPL* (not just some nebulous code availability). If you do not understand this - just read this article carefully.
but then, considering that you speak of "communist licenses" I am probably wasting my time: you are as ignorant of the GPL, as you are of communism and, I strongly suspect, of geography, history, languages, or even the taste of real bread or coffee...
