Well it is possible to be responsible for the opensource software also. When
you have a support package you dont really care if it is a 'open' or
'closed' Look at fonality, ok their soft is not 100% open source but if you
take the community edition you still able to subscribe to support, and they
WILL take the responsibility to repair you system in case of disaster. Many
others in this case.
