Put another way:
The presence of an OpenBSD port entry for "opera" encourages
the wider use of OpenBSD and all the other free software that implies.
The presence of a port of gcc to Windoze encourages the
development of software, free and otherwise, for Windoze, encouraging
the wider use of Windoze and all the "unfree" software that Windoze
implies.
A good example of the second case is the encouragement to use Windoze
that the gcc-enabled port of Mozilla-* to Windoze has almost certainly
caused. I would use the lousy and dangerous behavior of I.E. as an
advocacy talking-point to lure Windoze users away from their drug.
Mozilla-* has weakened that talking-point.
I like opensource, free software. I'll continue to support the OS
and userland that best advances that cause. That would be OpenBSD.
