The GPL allows anyone to take the code and sell it, on CDs, say, for as
much money as they want to charge. That sounds more like capitalism.
If open source is based on socialism, as you suggest, it provides the
first example I've seen where socialism has defeated capitalism in a
direct contest to develop, promote and distribute products.
