Well, I'll agree that "Open Source" is not necessarily Good and commercial
is not necessarily Evil, but I would say that Free is automatically Good
and proprietary is automatically Evil.

Just as there are more important things than our pocket books, there are
more important things than functionality.

I don't believe anyone ever asserted that it did.

So it's not anti-commercial, but it's clearly anti-property.
