And "the major part" of software developers in general are not working on commercial, shrink-wrap software to be sold, but on internal software projects to suit their company's needs. Most people aren't aware of this, just like they're not aware that most people in America actually work for small companies. Take a business class, they're informative.
So the bulk of developers would be helped by open source, as it gives them a huge "starter" library of code for them to modify for their own purposes. They don't even have to worry about GPL vs. BSD if they never release their version to the public.
