Cost is often a perception thing. For example, I work in a mostly outsourced IT shop - the only thing in-house is our custom coding. With a $100 million annual budget, the difference between free version control or $200 for FogsBugz licenses for our 8 devs is negligible. Around here, until you hit the 5-10K mark, it is as good as free. (Not that I condone such wanton spending.)
