    Great post! I’ve often used low cost as an argument for choosing open source software in my [IRL] communities, as the other advantages aren’t that successful when talking to people on a personal level. This post elaborates on those other advantages in a convincing way.

      I’ve described it as cost flexible, because you should be funding or ensure developers are funded to a level appropriate level of risk to operations if a vulnerability is discovered or a critical failure prevents a correct operation.

      That’s for big business and governments at least. Small businesses also has the same concerns but the risk matrix for them is just different.
