Why Consider Open Source SoftwareThere are a number of great reasons to use open source software5 ranging from the fact thatsuch software is totally free of license cost5 that there are no restrictions in how often you cancopy and install the software and that you gain access to software technology your schoolwould not normally be able to afford. :e list a few of these reasons here. ,y using Open

Source software you can"*. Sa2e money ! all the software is totally free.

%. Sa2e time on license administration ! you can install it on as many 47s as you want.

(. Legally copy and distribute software as many times as you li$e ! you can ma$e copies of itfor colleagues.

;. =educe your school>s licensing liabilities ! there is no possibilityof piracy problems whenyou use open source.

'. Sa2e your students money ! your students can ta$e all the software home with them5 toinstall on their home 47s

. 3any open source applications are easy for 3ac and :indows users to understand ! thereare o2er *&&5&&& open source applications a2ailable5 including almost all of the commondes$top producti2ity programs5 so there is li$ely to be an application for most needs.
