I believe we'd have to pay for either of those because we're a
university.

It's for the central system people at the university, of which there are
at max 5, and we feel we'd rather use and then contribute to an open
source and free program rather than pay (translation: we have no money).

Also we are all about free software and giving back to the community, so
we do contribute to the software we use, I'm not just trying to say
we're cheap. But if you can get it for free, why pay? ;)
