Let's try the litmus test for enterprisey business bullshit : porridge ;

"Recommendations for Users
 * Look for a sustainable community that has a critical mass of skills
   supporting porridge.
 * Look for a cultural match between the porridge community and
   your internal developers and user culture as it enhances communication
   and perceived user satisfaction.
 * Prepare an SOA that can integrate IT services from many sources,
   including porridge.
 * Avoid porridge that is not built on open standards.
 * Make a conscious risk-based decision about whether you will depend on
   internal resources or external services for your porridge implementations."

In short, another template piece where [insert your favourite thing
here] is wrapped around generic advice. Do they say anything that's
specific to what open-source is all about?
