Allow rebooted questions asking for market and/or product distribution shares?

Question

There´s an older question I´m not sure about: “Who uses the RSA BSAFE library?”

From my point of view (and looking at a few comments), it appears to be off-topic for several reasons:

1. it is about market penetration of a (cryptography) product,
2. it´s rather broad (who has insight in all sales/numbers of all companies distributing that lib?),
3. the core of the question handles the exact same thing as “Who uses Dual_EC_DRBG?”, which pretty much renders “Who uses the RSA BSAFE library?” into a duplicate.

Now, to avoid only looking at it from my own perspective – what´s your feedback on that “Who uses the RSA BSAFE library?” question? Does it really make sense to keep it around? If, for what reason?

Answer 1

Having given it a week for potential feedback from community members, I have now closed the question as a duplicate, based on the already indicated fact that “Who uses the RSA BSAFE library?” merely reboots what has been asked before… “Who uses Dual_EC_DRBG?”

Details

The (now closed as a duplicate) question “Who uses the RSA BSAFE library?” asks:

My question: Who uses RSA BSAFE? Which products are built on top of RSA BSAFE?

This is a reformulation of the question “Who uses Dual_EC_DRBG?”:

My question: who uses Dual_EC_DRBG? Do any commercial products use Dual_EC_DRBG?

Nota Bene – The accepted answer of that older question shows the obvious point of inspiration:

RSA BSAFE Libraries (Both for Java and C/C++) use it as their default PRNG.

Besides all that, the now closed question only attracted a single answer… which was never accepted. Therefore I honestly doubt much is lost by the closure. (Also, market-penetration questions are overly broad and always incorporate personal opinions – unless actual numbers are known to the public.)
