As I found out when I worked in proprietary software companies, such engineers end up accidentally violating licence terms of third-party proprietary packages (on account of failure to recognise the issues or use counsel to resolve the appropriately) far more often and severely than they do third-party open source codebases. The matter just tends to get settled quietly, when noticed by one party or the other. -- Rick Moen "The phrase 'sources high in the administration' can give [email protected] unintended connotations, depending on your readership."
