It's a fine thing. Troll Tech are a commerical organisation in a capitalist
world. If a rival product free or otherwise sends them under then they were
inferior and should have vanished. Thats the capitalist ethos. 

[And yes I consider GPL and other free software to be as part of the
capitalist world as everything else. Free software exists outside of the 
hobbyist/tech geek environment because it is provides facilities not
otherwise available at an acceptable cost [not just price to buy]].
