I was a PC Engineer and fix peoples PCs by going to there house, Windows XP was known to slow down PCs over time and clog up the PCs RAM and its start-up and had to reinstall it for the customer, the only way you could fix WinXP.

It's quite common for software to contain some open source libraries for common features/functionality that are generally present in most applications (e.g logging). Typically reusing these is a way to shorten development time and cost as otherwise the software developers would need to create their own code from

scratch to cover the functionality that the library is providing.

The most interesting thing is not the use of Open Source code itself, but that GPL forces Comcast to list all the different hardware running on the same codebase.
