You may wish to point out to them that the same logic would dictate avoiding third-party code under proprietary licences, as well, as those probably pose a much more realistic likelihood of tainting their development efforts. (Please see .signature block. ;->) Consistency would logically require that they use only third-party code that is BSD/MIT-licensed. -- Cheers, "On the face of it, Microsoft complaining about the source license Rick Moen used by Linux is like the event horizon calling the kettle black."
