Would it be reasonable for a team's policy to *include* the "from
where"?  Don't most shops generally work that way anyway?  For
instance, I've often worked in shops where the (unwritten, but
generally stated) policy was one of these:

	"build everything from source obtained from the author's site
	only"

	"only get stuff as binary packages from sunfreeware.com or
	redhat.com; we aren't in the business of maintaining a build
	environment" 

	"get whatever you can find from any old mirror, doesn't
	matter, whatever...".
