I just want to say that if there is a linux app that is proprietory and 
runs well on linux, big deal.
I run some proprietory apps on my linux box too, but its made for linux. 
Its not like I'm running a app for windows in wine, but as long as the 
app is made for linux.
It sounds like some people think that all linux apps have to be open 
source showing the source code. Well it doesn't have to as long as its 
made for linux is the main thing. The more apps made to run on linux the 
better wether its open source or proprietory.
Thats just my 2 cent.
