Assumptions
Software is important in research
Research software should be available“… anything less than release of
actual source code is an indefensible approach for any scientific results that depend on computation...”Ince, Hatton, & Graham-Cumming, The case for
open computer programs, Nature, v. 482, Feb. 23, 2012

No one can assume that valuable innovations will pop up magically in the public domain if their inventors received no reward for their labor and capital.
