    Is it? Because open source tools re-licensing themselves to be more permissive would seem to indicate whose loss it really is.

      This might indicate moreso that they believe they won't lose anything by the transition and users might ultimately benefit

      Embrace, extend, extinguish. it could take about a century, but every software company (hardware maybe next century) is in the process of being swallowed by free software. Thats not to say people can’t carve out a niche and have balling corporate retreats for a while.. until the sleeping giant wakes up and rolls over you.
