English term or phrase: one throat to choke
Customers need to look at such pronouncements with a skeptical eye, however, as many vendors may see open source as an easy way to dump old products. And in those cases, the open-source effort benefits no one.
The idea of having "one throat to choke" when something goes wrong, the legal indemnification some vendors provide against lawsuits concerning open source and the simple comfort of not having to vet one more software application can make vendor-released open source appealing
