Ooh, I like that analogy. I'd love to see a "Free as in Kitten" article submitted.
I don't think that's necessarily true. It depends on how the FLOSS is adopted. There's nothing specific to FLOSS that requires a shift in support from organizational IT to the end user. Of course, the gratis nature of FLOSS may be that software gets adopted by the end user as "shadow IT. But if the IT group supports Microsoft Office, there's no reason they should not provide similar support for LibreOffice.
