When you have an entrenched monopoly, that can continually decide
to add yet something else to the core OS install, there really isn't any
other option. For all practical purposes, Microsoft puts everyone else in
the position of "competing against something that's free".
This is more relevant to the question of whether or not Linux
users should be expected to pay for Motif or OpenGL than issues of
politics or philosophy.
