The best feature is the ability for open source people to work on the
viewer, unencumbered by these license issues. The price for that is
getting rid of proprietary dependencies.
It's a pretty simple cost-benefit analysis. How much have these
proprietary issues cost you in terms of development you missed out on?
It's hard to quantify but I know I've had at least several clients back
out after hearing there would be no way for them to legally distribute a
client I develop for them without hobbling it in terms of features.
