Having been on both sides of this “issue” I can offer certain insights on what many commercial software companies do to fight off open-source competition (I’ve seen direct presentations, done them myself, and have heard them live). Very few companies will directly admit these practices but many on the commercial software side does it.

How to fight off open source competition? Make a better product :-)

Hm. That is assuming that Open Source is a bad product by default, which has not been the case for years already with emergence of Spring, JBoss, Grails, Mule, GridGain, etc...
Nowdays it is very tough for commercial companies to compete with OpenSource ones (of course I am talking about Professionally Supported Open Source).

I think many commercial companies have competed very well against open source competition. A very good example of this is Oracle (Tangosol) Coherence.
