with Oracle it's more like bundling free code with very expensive not free code and then supporting the whole package Sure but that's called a 'solution' (sorry for the enterprise corp dev speak). Most FOSS projects don't solve a customer's problem in their own right and larger customers want to buy into solutions not disparate projects that they then have to put together and maintain. These customers don't see it as X amount of free code and Y amount of 'very expensive not free code'. They just see the sum of X+Y and a price point. To use a completely left-field expression for this context: don't hate the player, hate the game.
