It's not just governments - if you give them enough money they'll send you the source, and all the tools required to build it. Device manufacturers in particular need this - you think SeaGate is using the online windows docs when they write SSD drivers?

(The point is correct, but SSDs are probably a bad example: it is very standardised whether it is in consumer or enterprise space. Maybe nVidia and AMD with regards to graphics card would be a better example?)
