(*) "All source code written specifically to process data for a published paper must be available to the reviewers and readers of the paper."
What does this mean if you're talking about a company using a lot of internal source code that is not available to outsiders, but that is used for internal processes in addition to data analysis? It would seem the software would not have to be released, which is probably a necessary evil, but blunts in practice the value of the proposal.
