...and the weird thing is, that I know some projects@university which
are developed under Linux/BSD and then the endproduct exist only under
a well known comercial closed source Operating System!

IF someone develop under C for example a library for "Voice Recognition"
or "Optical Character Recognition", why do the Endproducts only exist
under W$ even if the development was not sponsored by them?

It can not be a problem of Licenses and Fees.  Later are in the range
of 10 times the mp3/mp4 prices since the development is much more
intensive and has less customers.
