I have the impression there is a misunderstanding, the sw you are talking
about is a special case, and in the case of Adobe it's actually not open
source software at all, I was talking about non-commercial open source
software that has a FOSS incompatible license (and is 'tainted', i.e. with
patent issues).
As far as I can see most of the stuff in 'non-free' is like this, open
source but with a FOSS incompatible license, not binary-only.
