Those are two separate topics. Good software is hard, I expect developers to make a living, and have zero expectations of them open sourcing it or distributing it for free. I am happy to pay for useful software and while I think open source is great, I don't veer into "information wants to be free!!1" idealism. That being said, open source has both formal and colloquially accepted definitions. Not withstanding anything in my previous paragraph, I support holding accountable any entity, large company or individual developer alike, to conform to that notion once they choose to make a claim of being open source. I. E. You don't Have to make it open source, but if you claim you do, then you actually should :)
