Isn't this the angle that Redhat, IBM, and now Oracle are taking? I.E. the software is free, but the support contract is gonna cost you.

- jedc 17y agoYes. My instinct is that for companies that need that "warm fuzzy" of support their contracts make sense.
- ShabbyDoo 17y agoI recently started working with a Fortune 1000 that has a support agreement with RedHat for, among other things, JBoss. The developers and admins rave about the support provided but disparage other vendors to whom much more was paid.
