The problem with writing software (of any kind, that can support a number of programmers) is that nobody wants to purchase software that is not implemented somewhere.
Among the first questions you will get after you respond to a Request for Proposal is:
1. Where is this software used. 2. List names and contact information of people using the software.
If you say that you write "custom" software, very FEW people are willing to pay the kind of money custom software requires to develop. They will rather hire more minumum wage people to type stuff into excel and access than pay for a more efficient software.
I wonder if they thought of just throwing in a cname from sco.com to ibm.com and passing on the love :)
