Open source has pragmatic merits and I love the culture. But I don't like associating it with a moral high ground because it doesn't charge you money. By this standard, we should also ask Intel/AMD to open-source their CPUs, video game studios to open-source their code and artifacts, and Google/Amazon for their search engine and infrastructure. Not all business sectors can afford to sustain with the Open Source model.
