  1. note that there seems to be both UK and US English usage/spelling here. (e.g. organisations, endeavor, ...)
  2. I don't think the two paragraphs starting with "As mentioned above" are really relevant here. Why not talk about Octave/Matlab, or any other software where there are both open source and commercial competitors?
  3. I might argue with "An extension of this to make things even easier for future re-use is container technology." Containers are good for a bunch of things, but by hiding a lot of the details of source code and its dependencies, I think they make it harder for the future you to work with code. On the other hand, they are a good way of packaging a code and its environment for use (as opposed to modification or understanding) by others.

Lovely, thanks Dan! Will check the spelling, and the other aspects you mentioned. Danke schön!
