What do others think about the place of closed source, proprietary software running on Linux?
My employer supports Linux - and we sell a commercial closed source product for Linux. We also use several closed source Linux applications - and have paid good money for them... willingly. Honestly I don't think anyone has any qualms about buying/paying for quality software on Linux. I think we all understand that you can't get something for nothing... which is probably why so many of us pony up and pay for a nice shiny new copy of SUSE Linux every 6 months - even though we really don't "need" to.
