This is an admirable project, and I one I support. However, it's important to note that '''the issue with open source in an enterprise environment, is that there is no one to blame when things, inevitably, break or are misconfigured. The blame falls on only you, not a vendor.'''

Literally the reason my former VP of IT gave me that the CEO gave him.

You're CEO and VP of IT are idiots.

Of course you can have open source in an enterprise environment and have someone to blame. You hire a company to install the open source software and maintain it.

**former. But yes. One of the reasons I left.

As was pointed out earlier, commercial enterprise support for FOSS is usually in the form of a vendor support contract, which gives the corpo someone to blame.
