Matt Asay is the founder and program director, Open Source Business Conference. I was just reading an interview of his regarding the OSBC - IT Business Edge, here is an excerpt from the same:

Question: What are the burning issues or problems that people are worried about? Is it migration costs, C-level buy-in, or is it spread across a lot of questions about bringing open source into the IT department or increasing it?

- There are a few different things. I've been involved with open source since 1998, so this is an issue that I got over a long time ago, but I've been surprised in going out and talking with IT executives to find out that one of the biggest issues is licensing.- Very few CIOs want to be the front runners or live on the cutting edgelinks, so a lot of the questions out there are about what other people are doing. Maybe they're reading your publication and saying, I see people are out there, the numbers say people are using it, but I want to feel comfortable, I want to know that JP Morgan Chase, for example, is also using it so I can feel comfortable.
