As we all know, proprietary software costs time (t) and money (m). Hence,
Proprietary Software = m.t
However, we also know that time is money. Hence,
Proprietary Software = m^2
However money is the root of all evil. Hence,
m = (Evil)^1/2
By substitution we can show that,
Proprietary Software=((Evil)^1/2)^2 = Evil
Ok, so proprietary software is evil but is this more evil than open source? Since open source only costs time, it is therefore obvious that:-
Evilness of Proprietary Software = (Evilness of open source)^2
As a function of cost, then :-
Evilness of Proprietary Software per $= (Evilness of open source)^2/0
i.e.
Evilness of Proprietary Software per $= (Evilness of open source).infinity
If we hypothesise that open source isn't evil then :-
Evilness of Proprietary Software per $=0.infinity = 1
In other words, proprietary software is infinitely more evil than open source and even if open source isn't evil then proprietary software still absolutely is.
