Open Source and ROI
,----[ Quote ]
| A switch to free open source software can minimize cost and allow funding to
| be diverted to equipment and other programs. For instance, the OpenOffice
| suite is an alternative to expensive basic application programs offered by
| major vendors. Many such programs on the market offer features seldom used in
| education but for which educators must pay. From an ROI standpoint, it makes
| sense to take the money earmarked for widespread licensing and apply it to a
| different area of need, such as consultant services.
