So again, it'd be nice if you gave actual evidence beyond hearsay. I don't doubt that people you've personally known have done it, but I don't know if this really represents industry standard.
of course it doesnīt... is stupid and wrong but lots of people companies are sadly doing that.. of course you canīt find proof for that as they keep them secret but thatīs the truth nobody wants to say... in my case i find those things disgusting and depressing at the same time... but hey thereīs nothing we could do. as for bigig question... am not sure if that would be ok.

the thing is there is too many C/C++ code on the net so people keep thinking.. "Why should i re-invent the wheel if i can just use it?"
