I spent a very unpleasant day going through all the frameworks and libraries used by the developers at one place (it was a massive list!)

You have to find and read each item's license, to make sure that they haven't extended it with something that will bite you in the @rse, later -- and then you have to make sure that the framework/library you're using doesn't import frameworks/libraries from some other project with its own license, which, of course you also have to find and read, and so on.

We ended up having to "find alternatives" for two frameworks (one of which was for a clock, of all things).

It's reason 23 why I believe that developers should spend more time writing code, rather than configuring square pegs to fit in round holes.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
