Yes, they are annoying competition, but FOSS competition is ethical.
You may feel like they are hurting your piggy banks, but you certainly have no ground in going after them.
In any case, I don't think people should worry too much. FOSS developers often work for free, and they probably sucks at doing the hard bit of advertising, documentation, and finding out what users find hard about it.
If you can't compete with hobbyists, you have no business in being in that field.
