That is only a perceived sense of risk avoidance, if you read the EULA
etc that ship with Oracle, MS SQL server etc, they are not responsible
for anything that may happen to your data. Sure management could blame
them, but that's about it. They would get the same amount of
satisfaction from blaming the FOSS community. No matter what management
says any blame rests squarely on their shoulders and the people they
have entrusted to create their corp projects/products when something
goes wrong.
