Very loaded language you use, when, typically, commercial software relies on Open Source software and community efforts as a parasite.

Projection allows one to set the frame of the debate, if you then accuse them of parasitism, it doesn't carry the same weight, as they've already used it against you.

I am just describing a factual state of things of how companies relate to Open Source Software.
