We have all kinds of open source, including all the ports IBM has made 
available.   It all depends on "who supports, when broken".   We have nothing 
in Prod environment that isn't supported by someone (a vendor).   Rocket Git 
client we pay for support through IBM, so that we can continue opening tickets 
through IBM portal.  Other stuff like PDS, TASID, we have but we dont make 
available to general public.  We have Dovetail's Wiki/Tomcat port for our own 
technical information repository, but even that is not used in any production 
business application capacity.

A general user could download "stuff" i guess, but in the end, if my team didnt 
install it, then they are on their own, including answering to all the various 
review groups (audit, risk, infosec, etc).
