Software licensing. freeware for consumers is usually not free for corporations. The foxit licensing site even says that it is free for consumers, but corporations need to explain their usage.

We usually don't run any type of freeware/shareware or open source unless our software standards group approves the software first. It is much easier to get a free adobe reader on machines than try to get something like foxit approved in a large company.

We just had a major initiative to make sure that google maps is not installed on any corporate machines as google wants a pretty penny for the license on their software in our corporate network.
