I think the title and even some of the wording from Mr. St. Peter is misleading. The valid point is simply that businesses should use programs with reliable support structures. This has nothing to do with being "proprietary". If the value of using "CoalEngine" is in its dependable support, then he could release it under the GPL and provide support contracts a la Red Hat.
