badly run companies.
I would not term them "badly" run - more like not IT savvy. Their core competencies are elsewhere and very many are excellent in their arenas. But not knowing facts about FLOSS makes them very vulnerable. Many try very hard to plug in the gaping holes with all sorts of hardware and software.
Its not about FLOSS or closed software but the ease at which the software can be installed and maintained by the user company. A developer cannot force a complex installation on the target company simply because a simpler method was not developed. The one who develops a simpler method will get more preference.
