What usually happens when the GOV purchases proprietary software they deem important is, they insist you place a copy of the source in escrow somewhere so that in the case you cannot or will not support it any longer, they can get to the source and have a right to do so. If you don't agree to the escrow accnt, they do not buy it and go else where for a solution. If they buy it without an escrow agreement they are stuck and shit out of luck should you decide to go away. I'm speeking of the US GOV BTW. Mark
