How to Get Bought by Google, Facebook

"Cisco has also seen those kinds of bad contracts as well as 'systemic open-source problems' at companies it was interested in buying, Adams said. Cisco will have to consider how much it will cost it to get out of those contracts or correct those issues, and whether that cost makes the acquisition worth it."

Systemic open-source problems?? Correct "those" issues???

While I understand to some extent the issues surrounding acquisitions of companies with products using GNU GPL'd code (just as an example), referring to open-source code as an "issue" or a "problem" is just asking for trouble.
