@andypiper It's an interesting way of seeing it but it's so incomplete I don't think it's worth using. Open source is the libertarian reappropriation of the librist movement that seeked to build intellectual commons. And it's because the commons are "cheap nature" that the capitalists are so interested by it, even more so as the intellectual commons are made of crystalized labor. The right to repair is a consequence of the fact we are handling with the freedom of the commons.
