For the VARs, using proprietary code such as MS just means pass-along cost for licensing that has to go onto the client's invoice. A local VAR where my former co-worker now works uses F/OSS as much as possible, as it gives them a cost advantage going in and a better margin ongoing (no renewal licensing, etc.). Being able to poke around the source is helpful, but a secondary concern.
