It's a good paper but IMO it ignores the single most important issue when it comes to open-source software. And that is rewarding the most talented individuals sufficiently to retain them for the long term. Citations alone aren't going to cut it. The other question, pertinent to computer-go, is to what extent open-source works in fields that have a large competitive component, like games.
At the moment I'm on holiday but I may return to the subject at a later time.
