One of the things I like the most about the open source, and free software communities is the level of collaboration that come with them. This makes it easy to find a project that suits what are you looking for, or starting a new one where there is the need.
For me, this makes these communities fields where innovations can come far more rapidly and more ease than when things are done with behind closed doors. Mainly because the information, and how the software works, flows easily. Anyone who has any interest to use, or see how it works can have a look.
And because of these, it's more likely that someone comes with an answer to a problem. Or, can find a new path to solve the problem that hasn't been implemented before.
Closing the doors on this type of collaboration would do more harm than good. It would most likely hinder knowledge than to do any good at all.
