Marketing Slang
Authored by: forman on May 04, '04 02:24:18AM
The verb "to leverage" has only one meaning, "to use credit to enhance speculative capacity."

The usage in your title is strangely out-of-place marketing slang (GNU and marketing slang are an odd combination). I suggest "use", "make use of", or "take advantage of" as an alternative.

Main Entry: leverage
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -aged; -agĀ·ing
: to provide (as a corporation) or supplement (as money) with leverage; also
: to enhance as if by supplying with financial leverage

Dictionary.com also defines (def 2) leverage as:

2. Positional advantage; power to act effectively

It seems rather fitting to me. Remember, words are allowed to have more then one meaning.
