I do understand all that. But it still does not make it a _good_
decision. :-)

There are a lot of companies where the software you can use
(libraries included) are strictly controlled and the introduction
of new software must go through a vetting process and review
committee. This is often (usually) the case at large corporations
like the one I worked for last year. I wanted to use a Java
library that I'd found and I couldn't because I didn't have time to
send it through the review process. (Lot's of Word documents,
justifications, needed approvals, SOX compliance, source code
reviews, deadlines, etc.) So I wound up having to recreate it's
functionality on my own.
Even if you do have time to send a library through the review
process it still may be rejected. In which case, you've just
wasted your time. Very paranoid companies (think financial
institutions) tend to reject large open source libraries where
there is a large amount of source code to dig through and review.
They fear, that with a large amount of code from unknown
contributors (unknown to them at least), that malicious code could
be hiding in it. The larger the code base to look through then
they fear the better chance there will be malicious code hiding in
it that might be missed.
Then you have the (all too often) manager some where up the chain
who is so biased against open sourced code (because he owns
Microsoft stock) that you just don't bother.

level of knowledge and understanding. And if you don't, what you
come up with will be substandard.
There are a large number of projects out there in all shapes and
sizes with all manner of political and technical flavours behind
them. Although P.W. is a fabulous thing, the nature of it may not
suit "direct application" to all projects by all people in all
situations.
cheers.
