At first was OK , but they didn't liked competition
from open source (someone from kernel team was working on one tool)
http://kerneltrap.org/node/4966
Irony is there was no reverse engineering: telnet was used
and only help system

http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/04/21/1517244&from=rss


. So that is the problem with proprietary tools : lock-in
and lost time converting to other more open (OSS)
ones
