"Customers are loyal if you treat them fairly. Would you use a
proprietary application if it was derived from an open source
application? Only if, you could not get the service you need.
I'm betting on the customer being loyal. "

Customers are.

But suppliers/vendors are not, reliably.

Open Source protects the customer/user against commercial
discontinuity.

I suspect the US position of suppliers of being a few years behind the
UK one, and catching up so rapidly it will soon overtake.

Don't confuse loyalty with its reciprocation or with safety.
