Precise language is important. Respectfully, I judge this claim is false.
"Proprietary" has a specific meaning related to the assertion of exclusive
ownership rights.
That is not what is is going on with things like the PNG - while they intend to
produce
exclusion, the attempt dies not proceed from an ownership claim.
I think we beed a better tern for this, rather than stretching "proprietary"
out of shape.
