Re: Code Reuse - consider code as COTS parts?

I would argue that the second paragraph in 8.3 ROBOT RULES clears this up.

Try to understand the reasoning behind a rule.
When you apply that to R76, it seems like they just want us to have a working knowledge of what is going on in the code. Sure, make some changes, improve something here and there, adapt here and there. I think rewriting it to do the same thing would be officially more legal but totally against the logic that they're asking us to use in the quoted passage.
