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.

Remove open source from any company stack and they'll go back to using abacus.

Using a proprietary solution that has FOSS components isn't the same as a FOSS solution. Commercial enterprise support is usually in the form of a vendor support contract (or a proprietary solution that uses FOSS components), which gives the corpo someone to blame.

Also, wasn't the abacus, technically, open source? So, they couldn't use that, either.
