I work for a large Norwegian college and in some circumstances, we can't

use PSPP, but they seem very sceptic. Since I don't know much about them, being
an operation engineer, could someone line out the major differences between
them apart from license/cost/openness etc?It is odd that anyone, especially academics, would distrust PSPP whose implementation is published and open to independent review, yet they trust SPSS whose sources are unpublished, secret and not open to critique. Or perhaps your colleagues, are not aware of that. Can you ask them, in the light of the above, *why* they are wary of PSPP and perhaps we can allay their fears somewhow.
