My company's security dept briefly (briefly!) put GCC on the banned software list. Yes, that GCC. Buncha big brainlords in that dept.

		Probably took them some time to clean up all of the the Work Stoppage tickets that every dev in the company filed, lol.

I've been doing consultancy for OSS development and one in-between company asked me to sign a contract that had a random clause in it somewhere that banned the use of OSS for work.

When I pointed this out, they said "just ignore that part".

Nope LMAO!

		...if you are told in writing (say over email) to ignore a part of the contract, can you do that? Does that part no longer apply?
