So? Just because your code is not open source does not mean you're not allowed to use it.

They might not care about the company they are applying to opensourcing their code. Plus you have to try really hard nowadays to not use any open source code at all

Depends on the license of the OSS and wether you're distributing or hosting the code that relies on it.

Sure, but you will allways need to consider licensing, wether you're closed source or open source
