Yes, you have: you can make a living while giving away your code if *and only if* you have an employer who will support you while you do it.

You seem to believe that there is One True Way for software to work and anybody who doesn't do things your way is, at the least, wrong, if not downright *EVIL.* If so, you're wrong. FOSS is all well and good, and I support it, but I, at least, also accept that most software will never be free, and that software companies have the right to keep their code proprietary if that's what they want. If you don't like it, don't do business with them, but please, accept the fact that they have a moral and ethical right to do so if they desire.

There is on One True Way.
