What is FOSS?
Free & Open Source Software is software in which the user has the ability to copy and re-use or edit the programs. In this structure free refers to the freedom rather than the price, although many are free in price too. While we support the FREE as in freedom, we much prefer the free in cost option as well.
Why do we support FOSS?There is many times available an open source package freely available that meets a users' need just was well as a commercial software package. Without support, like us, you may never hear about or try one of these great packages. The benefit is that if a commercial software package doesn't fit your needs, you're stuck. If a FOSS package doesn't quite fit your needs, there was no cost or obligation - stop using it and get another or then purchase the commercial software. |
