Perhaps you are right. I work for a company right now that has a smarter than average legal4IT department and they ask sensible questions about every piece of FLOSS code you want to bring in:

   - what is the license?
   - is it a program or a library?
   - do you plan to use it as-is or modify it?
   - do you plan to include it in our products or is it for internal use only?
But I have also worked for a company that simply had "if MIT, BSD, Apache, ISC, MPL, zlib then OK else notOK" as a policy.
