No Licence Compliance
● Proprietary software applies licence terms to end users (EULA)
● Software asset management is a major business cost
● Open source licences have no end-user limitations - Free software has no EULA
● Use that does not involve distribution to others has no compliance requirements
● Key, under-recognised open source value

software freedom● “Open Core”● Single-party
community● Dual licence● Cloud

Specify Software Freedom
● It's OK to have a “jargon” token as long as business value is meant
● All business values are the first or second derivative of software freedom
● Treat open source as a defined term with a referenced policy
![Page 23: Four Reasons To Pay Extra For Software Freedom](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051616/5538c8b6550346592f8b4841/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Trapped By “Gratis”
● English meaning of “Free”
● Cost-cutting history● Undue focus on price

If we didn't know betterwe would pay extra
for open source software
