I am running into a similar situation. Commercial verses OpenSource.
When I suggested an OpenSource solution (in this case it wasn't a
database) I heard that no one knows it whereas they know about xxx. I had
never heard of xxx, oh well.
In another situation the client wanted bragging rights. At $1500 a pop
for extra licenses (5 i believe) they can brag all they want. Me, I'd
spend the money on infrastruture.
