Yeah, I wonder if my (item b) instinct was unfair. David Pick
mentioned herein the possibility that the company might not even WANT
the expertise to be in-house, and while his scenario was pretty ugly,
it suggests a more benign one ... if the company goes with an
open-source solution, and you're the only one on staff who knows how
to use it, they are then dependent on your talent. Great for you, but
bad for them, if turnover is high. At least a purchased solution
ensures some kind of support no matter who leaves the company.

Your thoughts on this? Seems like a valid concern, and not one that I
had considered. (Perhaps I'm naive ... )
