Ouch, thats awful. I was in an environment where new management deemed Open Source "non-IPOable", which is why we spent several years revenue on a proprietary content management system.

I gave my manager a copy of the CaTB but it didn't seem to help much, since he wasn't the one making the decisions.

Other than fighting it, you can always toss your resume up on monster and find a better environment.

* yeah, I've got problems with his recent wishy-washyness, but he's supposedly good at explaining the virtues of Open Source to business.
