For me what matters is that my skills become more useful as more applications run on a platform that I know and can earn a living from -- if those applications, tools and stuff become more open so that I can script or interface fairly easily from open source tools that is even better, and when applications move to an OSS platform that usually happens eventually even if the OSS hackers have to write it themselves.
Right now I am pragmatic. :) For example I don't want my skills to stamped with Websphere certification and then go for a job requiring 5yrs Websphere experience. And it's quite difficult to know what Websphere actually is (Suse last time I checked with some Java crap thrown in), without signing a bunch of NDAs and handing over sacks of money.
