  1. Copylefted software is free software whose distribution terms ensure that all copies of all versions carry more or less the same distribution terms
  2. There are lots of variations between free options Freemium and Demo versions often have limited functionality Know what you need Graphics courtesy Pandora, Spotify, Slacker and iHeartMusic; composite by Mashable/Charlie White
  3. Open Source.org has list of different types of licenses Fsf.org has resources w/ case studies for example, has its own licenses called the NASA Open Source Agreement
  4. See also State of California www.cio.ca.gov/Government/IT_Policy_Letter_10-01_Open_Source_Software.pdf Currently involves 15,000 desktops, saves 11 million Euro per year (?)
