Who do they sue if the code you've written in-house is faulty? The fact is they pay you a lot of money (not enough I'm sure ;-)) for the benefit of your expertise. There's no difference between the stuff you develop in-house and any open source software you use. You still need to apply the same QA process that you would use for your own code, but you save a lot of time (and them a lot of money) by building on others' work.
In short, their guarantee of quality comes not on a piece of paper, but in the quality of the people they employ. Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Gregory F.
