[Koha] Chat: very good description of Open Source software

[King, Fred]

This popped up in a weekly digest of tweets I get from the US National Institutes of Health. It's a couple of years old, but it's a great description of Open Source software-what it is, why it's free, and why you should use it. It might be useful for someone trying to persuade their organization to switch to Koha.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always gotten there first, and is waiting for it.
