Yep, that's why it should be documented, i.e. given proof on a site
which is under the umbrella of the documentation project of MiniVend.

Would love to know with what argument those companies come up to
justify their contracts they set up with you.

On the one side they seem to love to take advantage of a no-cost,
open source software package, apparently being happy and successfully
running it with the help of your consultancy, and on the other side 
they should have a valid reason NOT to say/admit what they used ? I
just don't understand that logic. Can someone help me with that, please ?
