The presenter told me that he didn't have much experience with that kind of software. A few seconds after my project manager said “I was told we couldn't use free ware or shareware software.” I also heard a comment from another participant a little later “It's easier to compromise because anyone can see the code.” For some reason this comment struck a nerve.
