I don't feel there's anything inherently wrong with propietary software other than the fact that I believe it will ultimately fail.
It's easy to take the moral high ground and categorize a methodology as evil and immoral. The fact is that free software should be promoted because it works, because it's a better way of doing things, because it evolves with a community, and not at the whim of a corporate entity; Not because it's morally inferior
I think you have it backwards. People aren't going to use software because it's 'moral'. What's moral software anyways?? It's just a tool. People are only going to use any tool if it works for them. The whole 'I use/write free software, so that makes me a good person' bit is high-minded masturbation
