How much sense does free software make to the enterprise segment?
Well, if you are running a business, you ought to want to have control over your computing. so you should insist on free software. Businesses get the benefits of the four freedoms just like everyone else. Not onl:y that, there is a side effect. The support for free software is a free market. In case of proprietary software, only the developer has the source code, so if there is a bug.
only the developer can fix it and thereby support is a monopoly. 1his means that support is usually expensive and bad. But with free software that support is available from the free market, so businesses get better support for their money. And any time they are not satisfied with their support provider they can switch to another.
