This will not be useful since you asked for a local bank, but will hopefully be an insightful comment to some F/OSS guys/gals out there. Note that i put windows software also which is F/OSS compliant.
Used to work for one of the top 3 major unnamed Canadian Bank in the Toronto area. Would say, 10% is F/OSS software inventory and actively being used. Reported to the executive level as being used... how about 0%? But they play some large roles. I use to manage a project to extract performance and utilization data from almost 500 dev/UAT/prod on different *nix servers. A gazilion of ssh.com/openssh/f-secure whatever is installed. scp/sftp does not operate well on different ssh, so what binds them together so we can get the files guaranteed and is not corrupted in anyway? rsync. It runs everyday till now, and not once did they consulted me for any problems with rsync. I subtly place my job on the line by proposing a F/OSS software called rsync early in the project. But it was a calculated risk and having good experience with rsync, i'm confident that it will work. To think that not *one* linux server was involve in the project. :) What else, wget. bring Cygwin in the picture. so in essence, bash, sed, awk etc. will naturally be there and be used once in a while. putty (open source certified software) for windows is pretty popular. have seen a mysql and a handful of apache installation. These two are not in production though. perl is huge for a simple natural reason. Veritas Cluster with oracle RAC is using it internally. :) Kidding aside, perl is used from QA to monitoring to extracting data from a database. Might be PHP. Installed it and they said they are going to use it, but did not know if it pushed through. There may be more, But that's all i can think of right now. regards, Andre On 2/7/06, Marvin T.
