One argument I made was sponsoring a project, especially buys you support / developer relations. For example, we replaced a commercial PKZIP license with 7-zip. Was able to use the fact that one of the project we donated to, 7-zip, implemented a feature request that helped in this transition. That combined with the fact that these donations relative to our proprietary software costs were insignificant, made it an easy sell to my boss.

Thanks forr the reply.

When you have a direct involevment in the project it surely helps.

And thanks for supporting 7z, from a guy who use it dayly! *cheers*
