You are part of a development team that needs to adopt an integrated development environment tool to increase programmer productivity. The team narrowed the options down to two. One is open-source; the other will require an expensive site license. The tool you choose must be reliable, stable and well maintained. Which of the following could be a disadvantage for you to choose open-source, and thus a compelling enough reason to purchase the licensed software instead of using the open-source solution?

A. Your developers will have ready access to the source code.
B. The open-source solution is in the public domain.
C. The code for the open-source solution can be viewed by a community of open-source developers.
D. Maintenance of an open-source solution relies on developers who volunteer to work on the code.
