Why should non-profits use open source software?
OSS and non-profit organizations are a natural combination. A group of people create OSS for the benefit of both the group and the general public. OSS is about sharing knowledge and skills in a transparent and egalitarian manner. Furthermore, OSS generally has no licensing fees and because some applications have such large user communities, their customization is less complex and more widely available at a low-cost than with proprietary systems.
