What a load of BS. Interoperability of social software is about protocols. Social software can be open-sourced without fragmentation as long as the protocol doesn't fragment. There are many examples of this (smtp, irc, jabber, bittorrent, etc.).

Everyone can grab the whole database and sourcecode of wikipedia. Everyone can try to build clone of LiveJournal (code is free). Yet there are a no deep fragmentation. Why ? There are no "social unrest" in userbase thus there are no need to go away. And if there are "social unrest" in userbase closed source does not help anything - site will be abandoned regardless. Remember: there are no technical solutions to social problems and fragmentation of communities is social problem.
