I reinforced the argument above with this: Revolutionary software technologies or derivatives mostly did not come from R&D departments but from the academe. An example is the Unix operating system developed at Bell Labs. Though it was deemed propietary and the technology itself came from R&D but derivatives of it like GNU/Linux or BSD operating systems have utilities developed by university software researchers. Research culture in R&D emanate from the academic training grounds and even old proprietary models are based on the culture of sharing and peer interaction. The academe will always be a breeding ground for innovative ideas.
