I've been through a similar situation. My only consolation is that now I get to laugh at the management - not to their face, of course. I wanted to put a piece of software I wrote into open source, and they laughed at me. When I wrote the thing it was reasonably current, and now, two years later, because of management short-sightedness, it's badly out of date, and not extensible at all. HAha!!!
