Conversely, if a F100 company actually uses any open source software,
given the moronic things in place (for example, the current place
*must have* paid support for anything in production use, no matter
_how_ small, for example, syslog-ng), it should be seen that it was
implemented *IN SPITE* of corporate policies.  This means that piece
of software is that good, or the people implementing it were that good
that they could push something like this through.
