Sure there are always things that make economical sense. Too bad, I ran into too many woo's and wow's of the "self proclaim ads", and "fake reviews" about software applications, and OS's. All B.S.!!! Software and even some hardware patents are now economic weapons. Same as patents used in pharma industry, and genetically modified seeds in farming. Talking about economic sense, economic development strategies are a a big farce, too. The burst of the dot-com bubble cause economy to slow down, so they lowered interest rates to encourage borrowing, leading to real-estate bubble, so they fake a recovery with trillions of dollars propping up the failed banks. Mean while the people are facing horrendous fees and interest rates by credit cards, being entices into buying on credits. Spend, spend money you don't have to help propping up the economy. Look at what Oracle was trying to do with various Open Source projects after they took over Sun. They tried to butcher, or screw up those projects big time. Many software companies have done similar things to try to snuff out the competition including buying out competing products, or companies and then shelved those projects or products. I don't care to deal with those people. That's why I prefer Open Source, forking is always a viable option here, not so for proprietary software.
