isn't the key word here "source" ? in other words - "the recipe".
Free software is completely different to Free Source.

GPL says it's better to sell software as a service or add-on to hardware, rather than as physical product.
software is virtual, but some people want to sell it like if it were physical... making a big mistake, which they are paying for already.
All google services run on Open source software.
if microsoft wants it could run all their windows live services without a problem on OSS and profit from it. In fact they do run a few linux servers.
Also if they do purchase yahoo, they would be 1 of the biggest open source users in the world. Yahoo runs almost completely on open source.
The future of productivity software is in the cloud and that's exactly were Open source is King.
those who don't evolve will go the way of the dinosaurs..
