A journalis, Cameron Laird, noticed the article and sent me a link
to a sort of similar article -- aimed much more at the sciences -- that
he published in 2002:

  http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-oslab/?n-l-10242

E.g. it says "Related to this is a growing concern about the
scientific propriety of reliance on commercial software. What does it
mean that a certain result was achieved through use of a proprietary
library? How does an academician document a discovery or conclusion
when it rests on a black box whose details are trade secrets held by a
third party?"
