Yes, you definitely need to say more.  Starting with "I'm sorry." for 
asking such a stupid question, and another "I'm sorry." for lying that I 
deflected.

Proprietary code developers generate hundreds of billions in revenue 
each year, and many millions of jobs.  You HAVE to know this.

Yet for 3 decades many Linux idiots (on and off cola) continue to babble 
that it's all at sudden risk in the face of the Linux/FOSS juggernaut.

It's laughable.

And you likely weren't even considering gaming, but it's a $200 billion 
annual industry - and it's virtually 100% proprietary code.
