That my friend is one of the greatest problems with Mac/Linux adoption, IT boys are affraid of loosing "power" and are not willing to learn anything new.
I speak as a IT boy who supports both Mac and linux servers, but I learned to loose that fear and jump right in .

the word license as you so correctly spelled can indeed mean a lot of things, it could even mean free license...
still , my point remains the same... what would you to to a OS that has no updates , at least not for free ? and you already payed for the software... (but not the support contract)

it may be so... but....
