[Ilugc] Is the proprietary camp winning ?

Agreed that the companies mentioned above are not using FOSS as their
USP. But they are not doing this for charity either, which proves
the point that 'FOSS is not about charity'.
My sincere apologies to the list, if any of my statements so far
suggested that FOSS is all about charity. I was all the time trying to
sell the point that FOSS cannot become that glossy business that
proprietary companies do. Again, there are exceptions to both sides
(before someone points that out!)
But, the point to ponder is *Should FOSS try to be business?* No, let
us not start any debate over this, atleast I haven't constructed my
argument!!!
