Well, if RMS and similar zealots could have their way, they would have crushed the software industry for the sake of OSS/GNU domination. If he could influence policy, for example, he'd probably try to ban proprietary software.

And if you think that's beneficial, well, I for one would rather keep my Premiere and Logic and the (dongle locked) Reason, than just be forced to use the crappy open source alternatives out there.

People who want good software would find a way to make it and pay for it even if proprietary software were outlawed (which I don't think is a good idea, for the record).
