Marxist in terms of it's free?

Is watching broadcast TV or listening to the radio Marxist?  It's hard to apply Marx's economic theorys to freely distributed creative works.

As in programmers collectively deveolop the software.
You are using a *very* broad definition of Marxism if you claim that donated time to a project makes that project Marxist in some way.
