I often wondered if making the non-free stuff harder to use (Flash, Java, etc) will push free software devs to improve the free stuff. It might be good for Clojure and other Java projects to work towards having full control over their platform and distribution instead of having to rely on Oracle.

it could as well be that free software devs would have less motivation to improve the free stuff, since there is no competition. (In general, I don't think it has a big impact in either direction)

  It may cause some itches that were previously scratched by the non-free solution, though.
