Thanks Rob for your comments.
For me there are two questions.
1) Is proprietary software the "most efficient" from the standpoint of society as a whole?
I think not. However it will continue to exist and I am indifferent to its existence.
2)What should/can I do about it?
Try and not use proprietary software as far as possible. Everyone one of us has a different threshold when we decide "to be practical" and use proprietary software, the threshold point has to be decided by every individual for themselves.
Stallman says that he would not use any proprietary software ever, thats his choice, and the threshold for him is sky high :)
As for me I try to avoid it as much as possible.
Thanks
Krishna
