Even if the actual software is free, implementing it (and testing the implementation) certainly isn't..

(Much like MS SA - you might get the software for "free"[1] but you'll pay a hell of a lot on the project to implement it..)

[1] Not really free, especially given how much SA costs. More like "slightly less expensive than buying everything all over again".
