Brice, Your point is well taken. And I agree that some of the people on the Axis list indeed do a lot of hard work without any strings attached - but even they cannot cover 100% of questions, so you can see some queries unanswered. While this is probably fine for small budget projects, however, most corporations have a need for support to respond back within a specified time frame - which cannot be guaranteed with open source support.
Without blaming either side - (where would we all be without open source anyway), all I say is that most major corporations do not have time to invest in finding out where the problem is within a product, and hence prefer paid products that have defined support available. On the other hand, for a small-budget RnD kind or project, or a student project - open source is the way to go. This has actually become the defacto practice in industry.
