I bet that the corporate, proprietary world has done more good for free software than free software has.
Citation needed.
After all, someone has to pay the salaries of programmers, right?
Sure. But there are other ways to pay programmers than by the sale of proprietary software.
I've personally been involved in huge numbers of projects where developer's exposure to open source projects, within the context of a proprietary-only workplace, has enabled the skills and exposure to those open source projects, with said developers going on to work on derivative, open source projects in their spare time.
And you don't think the benefit flows in the other direction too?
