You almost took the words right out of my mouth. What happens if Mr.
McEachin gets hit by a bus? Or just decides that he's no longer amused with
this stuff? At work we require ∗all∗ software to be put in escrow should the
unforeseen occur. But that's no substitute for open software.

I know this has been discussed before, but history has a way of repeating
itself... And unfortunately the problems don’t seem to go away... Unless
something changes.
