Episode 294 – Open Source Misunderstandings: Open Source is Just Cheap!

from Roaring Elephant Hosted by Dave Russell & Jhon Masschelein

In our continuing series about misunderstandings that (still) surround Open Source, today we are covering the misconception that the only reason you should look at open source is because it's cheap.
