a) I was not referring to multiple vendors, but to using
software components from various sources, that are
integrated together.

b) With FLOSS, if there are conflicts between programs, you
can either fix those conflicts, or hire somebody to fix them;

c) With non-FLOSS if there are conflicts between programs,
you are at the mercy of the company that wrote the software.
   There is no guarantee that the problem will be fixed.  If
all of the software is from the same company, there is no
guarantee that there will not be finger pointing at other
departments of the company.
