David Pick mentioned herein the possibility that the company might not even WANT the expertise to be in-house, and while his scenario was pretty ugly, it suggests a more benign one ... if the company goes with an open-source solution, and you're the only one on staff who knows how to use it, they are then dependent on your talent. Great for you, but bad for them, if turnover is high. At least a purchased solution ensures some kind of support no matter who leaves the company. Your thoughts on this? Seems like a valid concern, and not one that I had considered.
