This comes to show the impact of the me, me, me, money, money, money culture.
I suggest that you read the Bill Gates interview, which hit the headlines
with a negative connotation this morning.
The Open Source community works cohesively towards a goal by coordinating
efforts and strategy (e.g. GNOME, KDE), as well as agreeing on format (e.g.
ODF in KOffice, StarOffice, OpenOffice, AbiWord) and swapping code.

Making links invisible will not become a deterrent for spammers. As mentioned
before, links are being aggregated 'on the fly' while those displayed are
just a mere sample. What you propose is killing the backlink system
altogether, but would do you propose as an alternative? My own idea is
explained in http://iuron.com , if you are interested in reading.
