Uma citação:

"Imagine if only the manufacturer of a rifle were allowed to clean, fix,
> modify or upgrade that rifle. The
> military often finds itself in this position with taxpayer funded,
> contractor developed software: one
> contractor with a monopoly on the knowledge of a military software system
> and control of the software
> source code. This is optimal only for the monopoly contractor, but creates
> inefficiencies and
> ineffectiveness for the government, reduction of opportunities for the
> industrial base, severely limits
> competition for new software upgrades, depletes resources that can be used
> to better effect and wastes
> taxpayer-provided funds."
