I do a lot of government work.  Although they're warming to using tools 
like PLT, the thing I hear over and over and over again is, if there 
isn't a company behind a product, free software or not, they won't 
touch it.  They need accountability for contracts and maintenance plans 
to have any meaning.  So if someone can come up with a business model 
to support profitably tools like PLT and other free software, that will 
help with adoption.  The government lags about 2-3 years behind the 
business community, because there are extra reviews, but it does come 
around.
