Software is eating the world and it's mostly through proprietary licensing models. But this doesn't mean that the fight is lost. In fact quite the opposite: it means that FLOSS is more needed than ever. Generally, when a new area opens for software, proprietary software usually has a massive head start, but once the area becomes more well understood, FLOSS products emerge, and often they steal the show of the proprietary competitors, at least in the long run. In the areas FOSS was able to get a footing, it usually remained. Web browsers have been trending towards the open core model for example, same goes for compilers, most of which are FLOSS. On the server, the GNU/Linux platform is the most commonly used one. Same goes for embedded applications including Android. Does this translate to end user freedoms? Sadly, in many instances it doesn't. But I think it's still worth fighting for freedom, even if the only reachable audience is other freedom loving enthusiasts instead of the broad majority of people.
