Wrong. For most it is a hobby that they don't expect to earn from. If
you see the prospect, nobody stops you from digging gold!

And what is about proprietary people winning? If you want to work
on/with linux and earn from it, the guy who employs you must earn from
it. If I do the same work his company does for free, you will not have
a job! So, the companies will have to go proprietary and protect their
ideas.

Why is this hatred toward proprietary companies? Thats not why this list is!
