Speaking with my software consumer hat on, I personally would never use it and I'd be willing to bet 
95% of companies wouldn't either. It would typically cost as much or more to a) have the code 
reviewed for security, etc. and b) re-write it to fit the *real* requirements.

On the 2nd point, I've *very rarely* seen an initial spec. survive the release of the end-product, 
and when it did it was a trivial project borrowing parts of (an)other well-proved application(s).

Just my $0.02 worth...
