"Over and over in the FLOSS study, organizations place cost savings low
on their list of reasons for choosing free software. Ideological
reasons will be discussed later in this article. Overwhelmingly, the
highest ranking reasons for using free software center on *quality*:
* Higher stability
* Better access protection
* Higher performance
* Better functionality
