@newsgroup@social.vir.group yes, if they want to follow that way! That's what they've paid for! But honestly I don't think most customers would want that. They're customers, not competitors. But even if competitors, we know that software isn't everything in a company. Let's go to the absurd here. Imagine this is the software market. Imagine you've paid for Windows XP, and got its source code. How long would you take to understand it and do the upgrades yourself? Surely even competitors would be always behind. At certain point you would paid to upgrade to any Windows in the future, because of need. This is closer to how automobile industry works. When you need spare parts you can go original or parallel market. I mean, I don't have all answers. And I'm not even saying my answers are correct. I'm just having fun wondering all that and having this discussion! 😅
