>Yes, because they don't have a product to sell, just their labor. But software IS a product. I'd argue the end result ofthem connecting tubes, electrical switches, etc can be considered a product in the same sense. Thing is when they leave the owner can transfer their creation to someone else (tho often with the house it was done in), let someone else use it, let someone else look at it and learn from it, let someone else fix it, etc all despite the more restrictive nature of it all. When it comes to software a lot of this is too often suddenly a problem.
