Except of course if there is no oss alternative and you can't conceivably build it on your own.

But yeah - Pretty much agree. The fact that most oss products are best-of-class makes the choice even easier.

If there isn't:

a) look at building your own. What's inconceivable to one person may not be to another.

b) Build support for at least two closed-source alternatives, and make sure you always have at least two current alternatives.
