Could you please be more specific? There are a number of quite different
questions:

* Is FOSS useful for the economy?
* Is proprietary software good for the economy?
* Is proprietary software immoral?

etc.


Here is an example of a more focused question:

  Should FOSS be preffered to proprietary software in goverenment
  contracts?

Note that this question mostly ignores moral aspects.
