It's amsuing to think this through as a hypothetical fr the other side: of a freedesktop/open source world where open source has taken over, has huge marketshare, but still doesnt factor in here because there's so little money being made. Huge public good, but if it's ot making money, would we notice? This sounds like it might be distracting from your point about considering profits, but I feel exactly thr opposite. Profits & profit margin matter a lot, are a very explicit representation of market power, of how competeable & competitive an area of the market is.
