They aren't indeed.  Linux kernel is doing well with really big
companies supporting it. Multimedia applications still did not find
the best way, but they will. Donations from professionals and
universities doing research between arts and computer science would be
two options. All I said was to keep  closed software away from
gnu/linux. (But I think proprietary under free OS is better then
proprietary software under proprietary OS, I don't know).
