I agree that the principal consideration shouldn't be cost. Some of 
your colleagues simply stated that they won't even look at the paper 
because they think everything with PHP is free.

All that was announced here was a report comparing Lasso to PHP. 
Details on what is contained in the report are contained therein. And 
yes, if someone is going to cast the report off due to their own 
personal prejudice and make inaccurate remarks here, we feel it only 
fair to be given the opportunity to correct said misinformation.

All the technical details are in the report, and all discussion of 
costs aside, we'd be delighted to talk tech and get into the nitty 
gritty of the feature and performance comparisons.

Cheers!
