A few months ago, XenSource was bought by Citrix for $500M. No doubt the XenSource founders are thinking how much more money they could have made if only they hadn't open-sourced Xen. ;-) I don't understand why you have such a problem with free software. You don't think there is anything worthwhile there, so presumably you don't use it, and so are very unlikely to find yourself infringing the licence. I find it useful, and I've even written some, but I don't want to force it on you if you don't like it. You say that the "open source community" is trying to get everyone using the same thing, but I think you're seeing a conspiracy where there isn't one. I'm not trying to get everyone using the same thing, because why should I care? I've got better things to do than worry about someone on the other side of the world choosing to run Windows.
