What's the deal? Has TIS decided to take the AT&T long distance method of 
advertising as their very own now? "Put it in writing" "Show the code" its 
the same thing. LSLI does not make the code to our system open for everyone 
and his brother and/or sister. If a client is willing to sign some 
non-disclosure agreements, we are willing to allow them to examine the code. 


The problem no one mentions is that firewalling is a business now which 
means we have to support our products, and if someone takes the code and 
makes fundamental changes in the product leading to a failure it damages the 
reputation of the product and our company. Plus how could we be expected to 
support a product when we don't know what changes to the code the customer 
has made?
