Read as "renders this one single workstation unlikely to have the 
ability to receive support from the open source community in general" 
and move on.

There is nothing inherently evil about closed source, you use "closed 
source" products every day, without a second thought, without even a 
_first_ thought, and also without the righteous hoo-ha that surrounds 
companies making a reasonable effort to support a, from any "reasonable" 
business point of view,  pretty unreasonable bunch of people.
