Real world example:
PhD student Foo designs some super noiseless detector circuit. The
measurements turn out a success. Researcher Bar, a long time friend who
works on some unrelated project, asks Foo for help to get him started on
noiseless detector. PhD Foo gladly provides the schematic and layout. For
his project Bar needs to add some minor features to the hardware. Of course,
she uses a different local library than Foo ...
