To me this is one of the biggest benefits of free (gratis) software. I 
don't have to waste time with the whole cycle of bureaucracy, approvals 
and order systems which can be crippling in some companies. I just 
install and get on with it which is much more efficient than than song 
and dance that otherwise occurs and usually takes longer than the job 
itself, wasting everyone's time.

On the other hand the bureaucracy creates tonnes of jobs... and sitting 
in meetings with suits is much, much easier than heavy tech work...

It's also good if you have budget problems otherwise holding you back, 
which more people probably do at the moment.
