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.
