This is both VERY scarry, and very far from fact.

When there are no longer jobs for people to write software, there will 
be less demand for formal training in writing software, and with it the 
pool of those writing software will become small.

The best situation is where FOSS and proprietary software recognize they 
are symbiotic by nature, and support each other, rather than the current 
context that FOSS will eliminate proprietary software.
