Yes, I saw that. I visited Atlassian's site and observed that it is proprietary, and use of it carries a cost. I have no problem with using commercial software, but I was curious as to who pays for the license to use Jira. And, I was curious as to a) whether or not there is an open source equivalent to Jira, and b) if so, how the comparison with such software still led to use of Jira. It is like one using MS Word for creating documents, when there is Open Office and now Libre Office as open source equivalents (I like, and use, all three, though I am starting to prefer the latter two as I find the latest version of MS Office confusing and can't find some of the features I used to use). I can see rational arguments for using any of the three products, based on cost, features, preferences, platforms on which they will operate, &c. But, I do not know what open source products are equivalent to Jira, or even if there are any, and how they compare. So, I am asking nothing more than who bears the cost of using Jira, and then, what open source alternatives exist and how do they compare?
