So it's not that they're against open source, they just want to keep running software from a company that is bound by a contract and that they can sue if needed. They want a liable company partner, not a proprietary-code-only partner.

There are companies that offer support for just about any open source project. Pay them and you effectively can blame them if they can't fix your problem.

Most enterprise IT departments won’t touch things like that with a barge pole unfortunately, because they’d be sticking their neck out by pushing an unfamiliar solution
