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.
