I had thought everyone would have automatically realised this, but it
seems not. This IS globalisation and it doesn't just happen to
software.
If all software had to mandatorily come with source, it would be very
hard to sell much of a product which ripped off someone else's code.
This would force people to spread the profit to those who wrote it
which IMHO is only fair.
Cheers,
Niall
