NI has a track record of being hostile to free/open-source.  One 
point that bugs me is that some of their products are derived 
from free/open-source software, and they give nothing back to 
the community.

Example: Multi-sim (formerly Electronic Workbench).  It's really 
just spice/xspice under a fancy wrapper.  With a little work in 
the right places, we could have something superior within a 
year.  We have most of the pieces.  Some of our pieces are 
superior to theirs.  What we lack is the integration.

Considering where gnucap is going, we could be so far superior 
as to render Multi-sim irrelevant, if we take care of the 
integration issues.
