At least I thought it did.
They don't outright ban free/open source software, but they make you jump thru hoops to use it. Products like SQLite will sell you this one for a nice fee.

Identity Theft Is Usually an Unsophisticated Crime
Back when I was consulting for newspapers, a rough calculation showed that the price of the newspaper times the number of copies printed daily did not even cover the cost of the raw paper. If I went to the news department, old worn office furniture, crowed working conditions, people sharing desks. In the Ad department, leather chairs all around, many private offices, up to date office furniture and nice wooden desks.
IMHO what killed newspapers is not that people are getting news online, but the fact that more and more people are shopping online.
