Free softwares have liability issues with government agencies and big corpos. If something went wrong, they need clear definitions for who is responsible for what happened and be punishable/accountable for such (whether they can do it is another matter).
Free softwares have those "use it at your own risk" clauses also since it was given free without exchange of values, there's no valid contract that requires the software company to perform certain functions or have post sales updates/services. Even if big corpos don't want to use Microsoft, they'd still pay some companies to make custom softwares where the requirements and responsibilities are clearly defined instead of using free softwares that nobody's there to take responsibility or resolve issues when something went wrong.
