The First Derivative Of Software Freedom
Business Value Is
Principles
● Flexibility is the origin of the values of open source
● A community-enabling ethic is the origin of that flexibility
● Both depend on and create environments where permission is granted in advance
Focus on flexibility & you'll make savings too
But focus on savings & your
vendors will keep you trapped
If we didn't know better we would pay extra
for open source software
