This was certainly the case at one time. I know that a number of smaller engineering or IC manufacturing companies delivered to larger companies reference platforms for building products without sufficiently explaining to those companies that there was a source code requirement to be fulfilled. I had a large contract to clean up after one.

My feeling is that the larger companies are now more aware of the issue.

    Thanks

 The folks with the bad attitudes are _inevitably_ engineers.

Or project leads working for companies delivering some software to your company.

They're paid to ensure other folks accept their software without being picky in regards to compliance.
