| be a geeky programmer’s project is today a cost-effective IT choice for
| small, medium and big companies. Five years ago, SMEs were the target for
| open source solutions. Today, big companies in the telecommunications,
| finance and government sectors are using open source solutions.

Open Source Software for High Reliability Applications: Is it safe?
,----[ Quote ]
| In recent years, a significant trend has been far greater production and use
| of FLOSS (Freely Licensed Open Source Software). Such software has two
| important characteristics; firstly it is freely licensed, so anyone can copy
| it, modify it, and redistribute it. Secondly, the sources are openly
| available, which means it can be thoroughly examined and any problems that
| are found can be openly discussed and fixed.
