Quote of the Day

Today I heard a technical architect say something to a junior procurement bod that I shall add to my Pearls of Wisdom list:

However I got a draft contract from a major supplier the other day, worth around £25m over the next few years. The last page had the banner "PDF produced by xxxx, free for non-commercial use"....

Trivial but my client is in law enforcement, and it made for an interesting conversation with the sales team, starting with "Why are you using illegal software?"
