    Oh see my brother's Digital Certificate company is overworked Colonel, and when he gets overworked he forgets things. Like say, he don't feel the distro's paying fair by him, he may start sending uncertified certificates in your name.
    Well suppose some of your encryption was to get broken and sites started getting replaced, er, hackers started breaking in during general uptime, like.

    Industrial software is a small world and 2 big names will be recalled for sometime. They might get lucky and be near monopolies in their respective fields but it will not be as easy to just 'sell' a complex export product...
