Right now I'm working for a company that worries a lot about negative exposure to Open Source software issues such as questions that might arise about authorship, copyright or even patent issues.  The company does allow the use of Open Source software, but it requires that each piece of code that is brought in first be justified and vetted.  Unfortunately, I'm finding this to be a nearly impossible task when I look at the amount of code that must be compiled to use the Boost modules I'm interested in.
