wow there are a lot of very wise and educated people here, and i think both side have made very valid points. as a lowly consumer who knows very little about how things work (software hardware, all i do is plug in and surf ) i can say i share the concern about big business pushing out the little guy, they do it so often in so many fields you would be crazy not to consider a sinister outcome. only if you squeeze them out than you cease to have the exorbitant cash flow necessary tell people about it! very few people will hunt down the info, most only acknowledge the products they've heard of, and wouldn't trust (thanks to many destructive hackers) a product being submitted by an individual, as getting a monetary judgement against a hacker who permanently damaged your system would be next to impossible!
