</div>I think it's important to point out that the issue of fair play in the<br>
Open Source sense has nothing to do with what a company does or<br>
doesn't charge. All the major players in Koha development right now<br>
are for-profit companies, and all deserve to charge just as much as<br>
they need to in order to sustain their businesses.<br>
<br>
If Follett works better for you and the price is right, use it!<br>
