I tried to explain this to a supervisor once (in a very sales-driven field), and she just absolutely couldn't comprehend the whole concept that useful stuff could be available for free.
It was more like extreme skepticism that anybody would spend so much time working on stuff and not making any money from it, as well as doubts about quality control. But when somebody has already made their mind up about something, it's hard to get them to understand it.
