Educated guess: Paranoia that it'll aid competitors, or that someone will find out they've copied someone else's work into their product. From my perspective, of hardware that I'd want to use, graphics cards and printer drivers are the worst offenders. Virtually no manufacturer builds a device that is based an an existing scheme that can be directly supported and optionally improved, everything is a re-invention of the wheel. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
