Amazingly enough, the main problem I've had with free software in
industry is the (lack of) up-front cost.
Example-
A development group I worked with wanted to run some sort of Unix
on their PCs. The person assigned to look into it recommended
FreeBSD. The idea was shot down by management because you couldn't
pay money to get FreeBSD. The group ended up going with Linux
because you actually could give somebody money to get a copy of
Linux. (Please no flames about Linux being better/worse than FreeBSD.)
