Now they seem to have a major problem with CMS scripts.

I have always said - learn Perl (or PHP or Python, or whichever) and write your own scripts. One advantage of this is that you never get caught up in any of these hits on specific scripts (Google isn't the only one to have done stuff like this). And if your script does do something that someone important objects to, it is a damn sight easier to change your script a bit than it is to ditch the script you bought, buy a new one, and redesign your entire site to fit the new script.

I'll second this one for the same reasons, and also being able to fully evaluate and have complete control of code and scripts written by others is highly valuable as well.
