My environment is kind of not the point (but yes that would have 
been un-normal :-). If it is internal then you surely have 
selected the compile options as a project policy and that makes 
this a non-issue.

It is external libraries that are an issue, and depending on 
closed source external libraries is risky if they cannot be 
replaced. Depending on your contract you might have to 
reimplement the entire library for scratch for free if you cannot 
fix a problem. And unfortunately, small players file for 
bankruptcy all the time, so open source is the best insurance you 
can get.
