I agree that there's a certain flavor of competition in free software development but I wouldn't define it as capitalist competition, because capitalists compete for the purpose of destroying competition and building a monopoly to gain control of the economy and society, there's always a winner and a loser side, and ultimately everyone looses when a monopoly hits. Cooperation is also very unusual and the exception rather than the example with capitalism, no such thing with software freedom, mainly because the culture attached to the movement sees cooperation as something essential, else it would be a mess to build things like the GNU system.
