Merrill Lynch have come up with a nice way of phrasing something we
all know: that buying OSS means you get a greater choice of suppliers.
The call it 'free as in market':

QUOTE:
When you look at the Free Software Foundation's Web site, they have an
explanation right on the page: 'Not free as in beer, free as in
speech,' " Lefkowitz said. "We're not terribly interested -- from a
business point of view -- in 'free as in speech,' but we don't think
of 'free as in beer' as the best way to build a business either. We
like to think of it as 'free as in market.' "

"Free, as in market" means that when modifications or repairs are
needed, an open-source software customer can solicit for competitive
bids, where a commercial software customer would be forced to turn
only to the software's creator. That's an attractive proposition for a
business, Lefkowitz noted.
