Thoughts on how open source software fits into this idea?

Good discussion point! I think Open Source Software fits into this model in some ways. They obviously share their code, and they're also open about their issues, roadmap/features, contributors etc.

I'm not sure if all OSS shares their usage stats, revenue, or visitors - they probably should to encourage people to use and contribute!

Hi, and thans for sharing this.
There's Open Collective (opencollective.com/) which is a great platform for any kind of OSS collectives, sharing with transparency their funds usage and budget.
