There might be FLOSS foundations who sell support and some liability might be provided, too, but than again those FLOSS services easily are blamed as part of the Microsoft-Linux-NSA plot. Could you follow my point of view? I don't claim that Microsoft is good. I only want to point out, that several people overdo criticism, it becomes a conspiracy theory, they throw together unrelated issues, opinions, half-truth, lies or at least a lack of knowledge.
