Actually, that kind of fear is probably more common that you thingk: where I work, people are afraid of free software too, for two reasons: licensing ("Am I obliged to liberate my software because I use grep in one of the setup scripts?") and quality assurance ("At least there's a big company behind it that has the (legal) responsability for the quality of the program..")
