I doubt MM would (nor should they be obligated to).  However, I think
(with the exception of CFX's and encrypted tags) the beauty of open
source comes out (believe it or not, there's more to open source than
politics and Slashdot MS bashing) - many eyes, so problems are unlikely
to go unnoticed.  

However, to truly answer your question: no.  There's no guarantee of the
quality, security, or safety of the code.  If this is unacceptable per
your business needs, then I would abandon using the free code.

Subject: CFLIB question

I hope nobody takes offense at this question it is, however, a
reasonable 
question from the bigger perspective of running a company...

Does anyone at MM ever check the custom tags posted to the gallery or at

MindTool check the UDFs posted to CFLIB for security flaws, hack code,
etc?

Again, to everyone on the list in general, I've never once had any
contact 
with anyone in the CF community where there was a problem of this nature
- 
it's just that the potential risks are huge for anyone downloading a
server 
level tag to speed up site-deployment.  My company has made use of
several 
over the years and we don't always have the technical ability in-house
to 
analyze them before deployment...
