The classic reason to ask these questions is because you are making a
'for profit' product and you don't want to inadvertently include some
snippet of open source software that will forever doom your company to
provide the entire source code base for free to the public.

I personally think that's an urban legend, but don't take legal advice
from some comment on the Internet.  I think that adding an open source
extension to IBM software is a very different proposition from adding
open source software to your in-house software.  That's my opinion of
course, but my boss is a stickler for 100% compliance with software
agreements and he didn't blink when I told him I'd be adding open source
extensions to WDSC.

Good luck, hope to see more of your posts in the future!
