I'm surprised they need to combine it with proprietory systems.
Usuallys the time lost in licensing and money lost in royalty payments
is not economical compared with porting the data on a permanent basis
to open source formats and re-building key components
with open source code that can be re-used in other projects.
It creates more direct jobs for open source companies compared to
money wasted in royalties that don't directly create jobs.
