It's true that licensing fees are generally more than they're supposed to be, but it's my understanding that they can be negotiated down to a point. As a second option a lot of organizations just stick with older, possibly unsupported software to avoid the additional licensing, testing and validation costs.

And let's not believe that Google Docs, or any other replacement from any vendor, is free, either. It may not cost the end user money, but it costs the developers a lot. Google is not in the development business, however. It's in information retrieval and data mining, along with data sales. It just so happens that the technology it uses to do all that is useful in other ways it can make money.
