there is a place for all kinds
large companies prefer to use vendors, I always carefully ask the vendors the license terms of all componants of their offering and ask how they are complying with whatever licensing scheme they use. I mostly use gpl in the support tools. When asked I frown upon usage in deployed apps unless the deployer clearly understands the license terms and has taken a run by the legal department prior to making it available to a customer.
Now since perl has permeated the enterprise to become the glue choice, does one have to make all the code available or just the perl scripts?
thanx,
