I think it would be useless to point out to your ICT department what 
happened to people using a supported commercial program lik Kylix (just 
to make an example), when Borland for its own stupid reasons decided to 
drop it!

A better approach could be to set up (yourself, or your sister if you 
have one, or an aged grandmother, or a friendly neighbour) a small 
company selling FPC, Lazarus or any other GPL software you know you can 
handle (it's perfectly legal to sell it, if you follow the licence 
rules) and providing support.

This would make both you and your ICT department happy, and maybe, 
instead of headaches you could even raise some extra money. ;-)

Give it a thought.
