I don’t. People use non-proprietary tools to repair proprietary things all the time. Screwdrivers and hammers and soldering irons all are open tools that are used to build and maintain proprietary physical objects. I can’t see any irony in it because I can’t see it any other way. Imagine that GM built cars using only tools that were hidden behind a trade secret. Seems far fetched, doesn’t it? It does to me at any rate.

Again, it’s not how the tool is used, or what the tools used on, it’s the licensing difference, that is the irony.
That closed source products have to rely on open source products to work well.
