,----[ Quote ]
| 80 percent of those surveyed said that the main benefit of Open Source was
| that no licensing fees had to be paid. In addition, the companies used OSS

| source code, because they use open platforms, and because they want to be
| independent of proprietary providers such as Microsoft.

,----[ Quote ]
| A new Web API is also part of the developer kit for connections to
| the OpenPrinting project's printer database. Wizards for printers
| that implement the API should make it easier to find and install the
| right driver if the distribution does not include it.
