I think killing software jobs is a bit of a silly argument, it's not a better world that we've got 1,000 closed source jpeg decoders rather than one excellent open source one. What I do find massively problematic is that the developers of the open source ones often aren't paid. That should be impossible, companies are profiting off of free labour and that's wrong. If anything open source developers should get paid more per accepted PR, they provide more value and probably better quality code.
