Ah. The economics are different matter... partly. It really depends on whether a nation's in a position to be a net exporter or importer of commercial software.

Australia was in a position to be a net exporter (highly tech literate workforce), until IT/Comms policy neglect by Alston et al and lack of govt willingness to even consider Australian made in procurement. Then along came the FTA with US style software patents, etc.

The Australian IT industry hobbles forward, despite government intervention not because of it.
