It doesn't hurt Oracle or Sybase or Sybel or MS...but only Free Software.
This is just not true. Change the word Zealot for Salesman.

This is a very limited stratergy in which the Free Software Vendor eventually
looses. Other systems DON'T PLAY NICE, and break your stuff on purpose.
NYLXS is a Free Software Organization and the FSCC must sell ONLY Free Software.
We can integrate to their other broken stuff if they want, but WE SELL
FREE SOFTWARE only. Just like Oracle doesn't sell DB2, we don't promote
slaveware.
