Furthermore, building a product around some open technology provides a monetary means to improve the technology. If you look through the list of contributors to many prominent open source components I am certain that you will find people who contributed because they were building a product that used the technology.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that you rolled that rug up and threw it away to make space for the new and shiny rug. Too bad the new rug still has some moths.
