In my mind, that is one reason why the approach taken by FlightGear and
associated projects lke JSBSim and YASim, etc. are so valuable: because
they provide a generic capability, and sensitive information provided in
configuration files (flight model, 3D models, etc.) can be owned and
controlled. I think it is exactly analogous to your illustration:
Microsoft does not own any documents created by Microsoft Word, or
Publisher, for instance.
