Actually that's quite correct, if you substitute "Free Software" for "OSS" (which is what they really meant). Free Software is socialism/communism (which has nothing to do with Soviet "Communism") in essence - the point though is that whoever wrote that statement believes that this is a condemning statement, rather than a complimenting one. Whether Free Software (and socialism in general) is contrary to "the American way" is debatable. Personally I'd agree with that as well, seeing as how The American Way seems to be all about promoting and legitimising the most vulgar and degenerate form of free-market capitalism.

RMS is very left-wing, but I think he's careful about not referring to Free Software in explicitly socialist terms so as to avoid upsetting the hysterically anti-left US. Though what he's actually done over the past 20 years is to engineer a very successful and quietly socialist revolution, at least on the software front.
