I myself don't object to using open source or proprietary software, however what is important to me is the data format. That is why I have have always proposed "open standards" (not to be confused with "open source").
When I create something as far as I am concerned that something I have created is mine and I have the right to know the structure of the format I have saved the information in. If I cannot get this information openly then the company that gave/sold me their software can hold my work to ransom.
It never ceases to amaze me the people and organisations that constantly let their works be fully owned by others.
