Open Source vs. Proprietary Intranet Software, Part 1
,----[ Quote ]
| At first glance it might seem like a no-brainer: Get your intranet software
| and its source code for free or pay big bucks for proprietary, closed source
| software. But deciding to adopt either open source or proprietary software
| must go beyond the issue of money.
|
| [...]
|
| Open source software, licensed under a free software license such as the GNU
| General Public License (GPL), represents ultimate freedom. It represents
| flexibility and control over customization and distribution, minimizing
| vendor dependency and lock-in, avoiding restrictive and costly licensing
| agreements, and reducing total cost of ownership. In short, deciding one’s
| own software fate.
