The value of open source is that I don't have to waste my time negotiating contracts to license the software, I can make improvemwnts and customizations to it, I don't have to accept changes from upstream that are detrimental to my business, and no one can take it away from me.
Open Source may also be less expensive, but I am paying with some combination of time and efort and support contracts or other service and sponsorships.
