Proprietary software, it could be argued is simply the concept of Private Property taken to its logical conclusion w.r.t computer software. Seeing as private capital and ownership is the way of the world then I suppose this is how proprietary products become standards. Free Software is not the be all and end all but it's definitely a step in the right direction. Many developing countries, not to mention the OLPC project could not be where they are now without Free Software.
