Huh. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/504421/fujitsu-told-to-pay-corrections-3-point-9m-after-lengthy-legal-battle Turns out that sometimes "out of the box" (OOTB) software... is farcical. An easy way for proprietary software corporations to dupe gov't procurement officers who think that label somehow reduces their risk. Note, OOTB is more commonly referred to as COTS in the software context, i.e. 'Commercial-Off-The-Shelf' software. We need to stop falling for this. It's embarrassing.
