There has already been plenty of outrage expressed by the Koha community and clearly it hasn't made a difference.<br></blockquote></div><br>Oh, I don't know about that. We investigated Koha and Evergreen for a year and recently decided to go with community Koha using ByWater Solutions as a vendor rather than LibLime largely because of LibLime's position within (or rather, without) the community. That, and the fact its product has basically become a proprietary system with all the weaknesses and pitfalls of such systems. While investigating, we did visit a couple of LibLime clients who are jumping ship as soon as they are legally able, for many of the same reasons we eschewed it from the git-go.<br>
<br>So, I think it has, in fact, made a difference. People who care do pay attention.<br><br>--Jim Maroon<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="52" width="567"><tbody><tr><td valign="bottom">
