For most government funded software (at least in the US) it is very important for the developing party to be able to prove to the funding agency that their software product is being successfully used by the research community. This is mostly achieved via product registration and, possibly even more important, by citing the use of the software in resulting publications. Many people seem to forget the last point, taking this software for granted. Quite frequently I see pretty molecular images printed in Nature or Science that were obviously produced with VMD or PyMol without any acknowledgment whatsoever.
