It's the community!

The quality of a FOSS product is directly related to the quality of the community around the product. If there a product is well documented and has a group of active committers sysops and developers can solve theirs issues with the help from the community.

Commercial support contracts are merely a means for non-technical managers to cover their asses with higher management. Instead they should invest the money they now spend on support contracts in hiring well trained sysops and developers.

Sue them both for bad programming practices!

Both pieces of code have a bad smell. Naming variables set, set1 and mParent is bad practice of which no programmer should be proud.
