   I'd like to know what other companies have in terms of policies
   when it comes to getting & installing sources from the net or
   posting your own sources to the net.

   Some are very restrictive and others naively open.

   What's your company policy?

   1) with regards to getting sources from the net & installing them
   (yes, no, security aspects, fear of copyright infringments do they
   realize the benefits they're gaining/loosing ...)

We install sources off the net frequently.  Some guests do, our system
administrator does, and various staff people do.  We generall don't
examine such code carefully.

We don't worry about copyright infringement, because sources posted to
the net generally allow copying.  I've never seen one which was posted
but tried to prohibit use.  It's questionable if that would even be
enforcable. 

   2) with regards to posting sources to the net.  (yes, no, tightly
   screened, only absolutely totally unrelated to your work stuff only
   ...)

All our source is made available to the net; most is too large to
post, so it's made available via anonymous FTP.  We have no screening.
