I have no idea what your management will be worried about, but I suggest
that you explain to them how much more productive it makes you at your job,
and that the dollar cost to them is zero. That's how I sold it to my
management.
No one here asked me whether it was safe to install open source software,
but if they had I was ready to explain that it's a well established and
stable product, I've been using it and contributing to it for many years,
and have never had a problem with it.
