Not quite the impression I got. When the MS code leaked, there where
alot of people, on this list and elsewhere that stated quite simply: if
you write code, especially if you write open source code, do not
approach the MS source, do not touch the MS source code, even with a ten
foot barge pole.

All the arguements againist touching the Cisco source are the same as
all the arguements againist touching the MS source. A bit more refined,
but the same.
