Proprietary software does not expose its source code to the public, which may
seem counter-intuitive to the principles of reproducibility. Proprietary
software typically cannot be distributed, inspected, or modified by others.
They are, thus, reliant on a single supplier and prone to proprietary
obsolescence #cite(<9403875>, form: "normal", supplement: [p. 3]).

Ensuring the reproducibility of such software is challenging, as users lack
access to the build process and the software's lifespan is often limited due

Being aware of the broader implications of using proprietary software is
crucial but does not necessarily compromise reproducibility at short term.
However, relying on them for long-term reproducibility is risky due to the
lack of transparency and control over the software's evolution.
