Copyright and patents were designed to make it possible for people to publish information. Prior to this laws, companies and trade organizations kept all of their information secret.

Patent laws allow a limited monopoly provided that the trade organization publishes the information behind a product.

Your understanding of open source is naive as well. Open source is used to wipe small software developers off the face of the earth so that megacorporations can dominate the people.
