I'm not sure if I'm understanding you point. Are you saying?:

- Open source developers make products that are good enough such that 
small development houses can't compete? How does that "stifle innovation"?

- Open source developers are not innovative or are "doing it wrong", but 
because their products are often made available for free, people and 
companies aren't willing to look into commercial options?

- Something else...?
