I feel like proprietary software is made by someone that left the company shortly after the project was finished. They never documented in the knowledge management system, so no other employee is able to continue with it.
It’s amazing how much work goes into cleaning up code before you feel comfortable posting it to a mailing list that you would never even bother doing for internal-only stuff.
Even more likely: have been using GPL libraries without a care in the world.
