Because companies are generally managed by far worse people. Just this afternoon I stumbled across an email template framework on GitHub in which one of the issues posts had a responder remove HTML templates from a reply to a bug report because he said his boss claimed that was their "intellectual property."
Using an MIT licensed lib for free, think the plain ole html markup they generated with it is "valuable code," that's the CIS + MBA grads I know!
