Uh, this may come as a surprise, but universities generally do not have
quality-control departments.  Alas.  And considering some of the screwups
that come out of places that *have* QC departments, like Sun, it should
not be surprising that free software is sometimes worth what it costs.
(Fortunately, it's *usually* worth more.)
