I can't say that theirs any one specific project. Linux is a collections of thousands of different projects that must work together to produce a working OS.

Both are important, but it's a sliding scale. If an open source app is only slightly worse than a proprietary app I'll go with the open source. But if the open source app is significently worse I'll go with the better proprietary app. This is why I have the proprietary Nvidia drivers installed on my computer.

Open source has both individual people, groups/communities, and corporatations competeing that both compete and cooperate with both each other and proprietary applications. I don't necessarily see for profit businesses being at odds with the lone programmer coding away in his basement.
