If an intellectual good is proprietary, virtually the only way it's a good one is if it is not enforced by a government. If it is closed source but doesn't rely on legal battles over IP laws, and simply hides its source from other companies, etc., then it's ethical, and ethical action is usually a sign of a good company that makes good products.
The moment a company or actor relies heavily on IP laws, it goes to shit.
