Exactly which law supports the notion that "you can use my intellectual
property in a commercial program but not in a free (but closed-source)
program"?

If Adobe has acquired the license eg. for a library for commercial purposes,
what kind of law would stop them from not charging any money for the
softare? (And why would the library owner care, as long as Adobe pays them
the proper licensing fees?)
