I've mostly used open source by ripping out the actual IP from whatever assumptions and encapsulations they've got it welded to. In the end I have something different from what they had. I'm not interested in aiding and abetting the conflation of the actual value of the project with the glick it's embedded in. And I don't think they want to switch their project to accomodate my needs and interpretation. I write a lot of embedded code so I need everything short and simple. And 'borrow' mostly format interpreting code, protocol generators etc. Not a lot of applications, certainly not in their entirety.
