Here's the funny thing that gets forgotten: in a lot of commercial software, 3rd party dependencies need to go through legal to get properly vetted and attributed and so on. This also usually requires an engineer (to be able to answer things like if it's dynamically linked or not, etc.).

As staid and corporate as it might sound initially, it's a very smart thing to do. One screw-up with licenses could be catastrophic. Are you all really checking that carefully?

I can't even imagine how any sort of proper legal checks could be done with a trillion micro libraries.
