That situation cannot be (or should not be) avoided if a product is significantly better that any other competitor on the market. You can choose between

- depending on the for-profit company

- having disadvantage on the marketplace because of inferior tools

I think the former is often preferable.

FWIW, I think people are doing their careers a great dis-service if they're selling themselves just as "Photoshop Technicians".
