Note that private companies that have nothing to do with the government have
nothing to fear if they are a private company and Aare selling to the
government tools that will be used on the job in the government then they
are affected only if that software will be used by a person with a
disability because if a person doesn't complain they will not be hunted.
They should be forced by this law to convert even if no one complains but
that is not the way the real world works.

Agreed but I was asking how it works in the real world and not what is it in
theory, cinse I really want to know if it is being applied and if law swites
are being applied against private companies based on section 508 or on
whatever other law if for example their websites are not accessible.

When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows," people just stare at
you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, for free."
