10 reasons for charities to use Free Software
1. Save administration costs
Fines, audits, leases, license certificates and complicated restrictions will be things of the past.
2. Discover the meaning of security
GNU/Linux is used by the the largest national security organisations and the majority of the world's servers for good reason: it's unbeatable security.
3. Stop worrying about liability exposure
Your right to use Free Software however you wish is legally protected, permanent and inalienable.
4. Slash your hardware costs
When efficient software makes your PCs live longer, you pay less for hardware and the environment wins.
5. Use a familiar and intuitive interface
Tens of millions of teachers, administrators, students and professionals use GNU/Linux every day, contributing to a desktop that makes sense, and is easy to use.
6. Expand infrastructure with zero licensing costs
No matter how much your organisation expands, licencing costs will never restrict your growth.
7. In house training is easier than ever
Millions of reusable learning resources pervade the Internet. Unparalleled access to relevant information keeps training costs low.
8. Experience true interoperability
Cross platform applications read and write your documents, spreadsheets, databases, and key files on all major platforms thanks to widely supported Open Standards.
9. Upgrade when you choose
Nobody can tell you when to update or change your software. Upgrade when it makes sense for your organisation.
10. Total control over your computing
Every bit of Free Software can be modified, distributed and redeployed by you or any organisation you choose. Wave vendor lock-in goodbye.
