I would translate TCO as Total Cost of Operation. This is because the principle of ownership on software is a very questionable one and one that most of us would deny. Further, all liceses used with proprietary software grant you certain rights on the software but don't transfer the ownership to you. Thus the Total Cost of Ownership on proprietory software will always be zero - you just don't own it :-) Salam-Shalom, Werner _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
