I was only responding to the statement that only using code in-house was 
a protection from risk.  SCO and Autozone were only using the code 
in-house, they didn't modify it (there was a claim by SCO of a 
third-party stealing its IP) and they've been in court for a handful of 
years over it.  It's baseless, but it's still a risk.
