There are plenty of software companies that sell software that runs on 
Linux, and make money.

I'd be suprised if people like Adobe wouldn't all of a sudden have a 
large Linux market share if they would just release their various 
software with a Linux version.

Oracle and IBM, for two, seem to be making plenty of dough off of 
proprietary Linux software (not to mention Novel/SuSE, RedHat, etc, who 
sell "enterprise" linux distributions with some proprietary crap 
included in it).
