Proprietary software is "non-value added?"  I think we need to start
discussions here with definitions.

The question for a company like TenTec is "where is their added-value".

I would think most of their added-value is in their hardware design  
rather than in their software design (though as the latter is  
proprietary it's more difficult to see if they're using novel  
techniques and then protecting them as trade secrets in not revealing  
the hardware).
