The business opportunity is in software that's inseparable from the hardware. Academics won't work on that because they don't do product development.
Yes, academics will rewrite proprietary software. Collaborating is what they do, and Free Software is done basically the same way they do everything. They would rewrite it if it was free too.
Business will have a harder time doing the same.
