I use some commercial software on my GNU/Linux system simply because there is no free version available which meets my requirements and these are fundamental to being able to work on Linux. I have released som software as GPL which interfaces with the commercial software. If there was free/open source version that had the features I require, I'd use it, but there isn't.
