Hey Robert!
I very much agree with you that sustainability is a strong point of free to
modify and distribute software. I don't think that it tells the whole
story, but yes, it is a very strong point.
The whole story is that most musicians, for instance, are not using open
source software. Yet somehow they are performing and writing music and
apparent lack of sustainability over the years is being managed just fine.
As for custom software, I actually would disagree that this is necessarily
a feature of open source. It is a feature of hobbyist software. It's just
that in today's word developer play field is usually set in an open source
environment. But definitely not all of it. For instance, amateur gaming
scene is largely proprietary.

If you use software that is actually written with standards compliance,
portability, and a commitment to open source principals the answer is yes.
I'm talking about stuff like GCC, Pure Data, Csound, snd, and the LADSPA
plugin standard.
If you use proprietary software the answer is most likely no. Especially
if the company that wrote the software no longer exists, and even if it did
the OS it was compiled for hasn't been supported for a decade, and even if
it was you don't remember where you left the dongle.

Can you use proprietary software without any
limits? Can you study the
source code of a proprietary software? Can you modify the proprietary
software? Can you redistribute proprietary software?
1) Yes.
2) No. I want to make music, not dispute algorithms. When I put my
nose in source code is to get paid, to bring bread and butter to the
table. When I'm, not paid, I like to make music. And biking, and
various fun things.
3) No. See 2).
4) No. I believe people has a right to earn a living.

I can assure that I can apply to my music any
license I want :-)
Exactly.
I chose a Creative Commons license Attribution,
Share alike
(CC-BY-SA) and I used this license to publish final mix, single
recordings tracks and Ardour project that are a sort of "source code"
of our music. This is my way to say thanks to developers who wrote
Ardour, Hydrogen, CALF and many others great software ad free
software.
And there can be a time also when one will want to make money. Why
not ?
Ciao.
