Sure. Not to pick on anyone, but NRC is a great example. If you go to the CIPO patent listings, you can see everyone who has filed a patent. There's a little check box that allows you to see whether it's available for licensing. Usually the government-developed technology is not available for licensing.
The best example that everyone knows about would be DARPA in the U.S., which put its technology out there. We now have the Internet today. That's one great example of why you'd want to do that.
As I said in my comments, if that patent or that technology is just sitting on the shelf, you're not making money. You're not creating jobs. You're not increasing the tax base. The same goes for universities and colleges.
