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.
Free software basically only exists because it’s subsidized by nonfree software. It also has no original ideas. Every piece of good free software is just a copy of something proprietary or some internal tool.
Do you have any kind of source for such claims?
You've just made a pretty outrageous claim without evidence that would require a lot of effort on my part to refute, so I'll just go with: if you say so.
