copyright and open source, both of which turn out to be almost irrelevant in the face of automated Kafka-esque monopolistic bureaucracies.

What do you think the free software movement was all about, if it wasn't about avoiding Kafka-esque monopolistic bureaucracies? Read Stallman's "The Right To Read", from 1997.

Open source, on the other hand, has been embraced by those automated Kafkaesque monopolistic bureaucracies.

Do you mean the consumption of open source software has been embraced, i.e. they love using free software but are not big fans of the backside of the model?

They like using free software, but they hate Free Software. Open Source is their friend.
