Me during a vendor product technical demonstration:
0: So, this is basically a wrapper around all these other open sourced products?
1: Yes! But you get our secret sauce - the thing that makes us special! That you don't get just using the open sourced products directly.
0: Oh cool! Can I see the source code of that secret sauce and your runbooks around those open sourced products?
1: No, alas. That is protected IP and closed source.
0: 😲 Did you just admit publicly to violating a massive amount of GPL and other copyleft and open source licenses?!
1: Uhh... we should get our lawyers to answer that question....
