Mark, software costs money, it does not matter where it comes from or who writes it. If its to be Open Source, then, it has to be packaged tested and deployed. The maintenance must be done also. You can rely on Open Source for maintenance, but you have to pay someone to get the free work done. From my point of view, there is no such thing as 'free', lower cost maybe, not free. A point, would you work full time for nothing ?
