During the "Don't Copy that Floppy" era, a company set up offices throughout South America to help local authorities crack down on piracy. Very often they'd get called by local authorities because they'd hear that their products were being pirated. So they would "help out" on investigations. During those investigations, they'd offer the offending company (this was against large companies) a special deal - we will forgive you your transgressions if you purchase a special package of our software which includes everything you could need to run an office at 10% of the full price, provided that you promise not to use any competitors products.
