We should be able to write our own tools --some space should be vacated for that. Tools like Abiword, Open Office. Org, and Star Office, are increasing their popularity. Linux is becoming the OS for governments in Europe, and is free --France and Germany-- so we don't have to use highly priced, highly deficient sofware.

BTW, which kind of software are you talking about? If it's about CAT, well you are free to start writing, if you have the necessary programming skills. If I had them, I would have programmed a CAT tool of my own a long, long time ago.
