For the sake of argument, lets say that the closed-source frameworks 
have to be purchased by the user.  So, to run the binary you have to buy 
a closed-source operating system and two closed-source frameworks.  
Nothings stopping anyone from porting the source of my app to an 
open-source OS and open-source frameworks.  It just hasn't been done yet.
