In general i do agree with Greg here. So open-source
is not harmed. However there is one BUT
I am as the author of the source code must have the possibility to
compete with others who try to benefit from my source code.
If there is no liberty in competition then i am as the
open source author can be HARMED. But i am harmed not by the fact
someone is benefiting from my source code but i am harmed by
not being allowed to compete on the same market.

The Use & Compete Right:
Everyone is free (libre) to use(buy and consume) and compete(produce and sell)
if that does not restrict anybody else the same right to use and compete
