What does free, open source mean in regards to Moodle?
The word “free” does not mean “no cost” but refers to the ethic of free software. The distinction to keep in mind is that while this is Free, Open Source Software (FOSS), costs are involved in implementing the solution as measured by capital outlay (e.g. server(s) to host it), technical support personnel, and so on.
