Me and the IT-professional at the law firm I work in are currently trying to create a new website. It is one of the biggest corporate law firms in Denmark.
When our IT-guy requested that the new website should have a content management system, and that he had found a great open source system, the partner in charge insisted on paying for a system that costed $10.000 because the company shouldn't rely on shareware.... and this guy works with copyright law. There is a general misconception that you can't possibly get something for free that is as good (or better) than something you pay $10.000.
