Opensource BI might be interesting for small and medium-sized business, however for large companies price is rarely a disabling factor. Not to forget that Enterprise BI suites often go further than just reports and dashboards and include metadata management, lineage and impact analysis, business glossaries, predictive workbenches etc. Many of enterprise BI suites offer additional benefits from integration with existing infrastructure from the same vendor. So it's not only a matter of price for BI software. Even for SME sector there are strong alternatives to opensource BI tools -- e.g. MicroStrategy offers its basic product for up to 100 users for free, there is free and very powerful QlikView Personal Edition, etc.
