This. Think of Bill gates, and think of Linus Torvalds. Inspiration to make money can only do so much. There'd be a lot more people making awesome stuffs today if large corps didn't just buy any small tech company making anything that could be used. Sometimes they buy them and use it, sometimes they buy is and then ensittify it so people will have no choice but to use things they want.
