In a certain way, some Unix or Linux aren't that better: if you are
using debian stable, you're stuck with gcc3 too, even though you can
compile and install your own gcc4 if you like (both if you are an OSX
10.3 or debian stable user).

So IMHO it's not because a solution is completely free of proprietary
software that you aren't somewhat restricted to a certain subset of
softwares...
