                      Why Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS)?

This paper provides quantitative data that, in many cases, using open
source software / free software is a reasonable or even superior approach
to using their proprietary competition according to various measures. This
paper's goal is to show that you should consider using OSS/FS when
acquiring software. This paper examines market share, reliability,
performance, scalability, security, and total cost of ownership. It also
has sections on non-quantitative issues, unnecessary fears, usage reports,
other sites providing related information, and ends with some conclusions.
An appendix gives more background information about OSS/FS. You can view
this paper at http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html (HTML format). Palm
PDA users can view it in Plucker format (you will also need Plucker to
read it). A short briefing based on this paper is also available in PDF
and Open Office Impress formats (for the latter, use Open Office Impress).
Old archived copies and a list of changes are also available.
