Disney, Pixar, Sony, DreamWorks, IBM, Nvidia, AMD, Blackberry, Google contributions make up at-least 50% of what I have outside of the core, many of those particular library's can be found not only in Blender, Gimp, Krita, MyPaint ... but also in Autodesk(Maya, Mudbox, Motionbuilder), The Foundry products(Mari, Nuke, Modo, ..), and many others.
Those very same "Proprietary Evil Bastards" contribute more code to Open Source and Linux, then every single FSF GNU developer combined.
I have Linux versions of Maya, Mudbox, Motionbuilder, Modo, Mari, Nuke, 3DCoat on an education License and with the exception to Mari(Texture Painting with Shaders) and 3DCoat(Voxel Sculpting) I prefer Blender over all the rest, because I feel its a better tool.
Open and Closed Source can and does co-exist, and regardless I still have my source, and if someone decided to take everything and close source it, has absolutely no effect on me. And that's there right if they do choose todo so.
In my opionion its ok to use oss code in ccs code but only if they give their changes back, so if they sell a device with a custom version of grub or add some flags to gcc they should give their changes back.

I really can't see the motivation for calling "operating system" what historically and technically is NOT part of the operating system. In case of Linux, the kernel IS the operating system; Linux is the OS and GNU is not part of it. Things are different for microkernels but, in any case, it is clear what is in fact part of the operating system.

The benchmarks have already proven that clang produces slower, bloated and low quality binaries then gcc. Compiling is unnoticeably faster but F.Y.I applications are compiled once and runned many times. So guess which is more important to have speed. The binary itself, something that BSD nuts like you could never understand due to your BSD dumbness or refuse to accept due to your BSD doublethink.

The solution to The Conflict, known since the earliest of times.
To truly solve this, one needs to look at the real problem. If anyone in the forum here has that level, I do not know though.
