Each enterprise doesn't only use this common library, it uses a few more hundreds. If the point of pulling libraries is to save tremendous time in not having to write them, I can assure you managers aren't keen in wasting their gains in looking deeply into what's inside. Spotting the flaws, even with careful reviewing is still unlikely to happen, and would benefit the community at wide over their selfish interests.Enterprises use of open source doesn't adhere to the open source étiquette.
