This is what interoperability means.
Open source products are interoperable with every other project out
that thats genuinely free.
Companies like Micoshaft Corporation despite claiming to be
big on interoperability don't sell any interoperability products.
Their secretive ways means that no one else can interoperate
with closed source either - creating islands of duplications,
a drain on resources everywhere.
