it will predominantly store).
And of course, if you get code delivered from any of those third parties, you probably want to version it along with the delivered binaries unless the binaries can be reproduced from the code you were given (sometimes the source delivered is insufficient for that).
If you have to modify any of that code from the third-party for your own custom, value-added purpose, you will probably want to use the Third Party Codeline pattern (plus, get them to incorporate your changes, unless the organization deems them proprietary and is unwilling to submit them back to the vendor).
