Greece Achilles Shield deal
Athens paid €3.1B for the Achilles Shield air-defense system from Israel, but the public was told they were getting source code and full control. The Greek government made that suggestion at a press conference, yet Israel clarified the licensing agreement explicitly excludes the source code. Athens is acquiring hardware and a service relationship rather than access to the underlying code. There is a discrepancy between the statements made at the press conference and the actual contract terms. It matters to read the fine print in deals like this.
