Open Source Transforms Software TCO

Determining TCO is simple, in principle. Just add up the estimated costs over the time of use. Some costs, such as training, typically are similar for open source software – OSS — and proprietary software. The initial licensing fees are often different.

Meanwhile, the aggressive price decline was reflective of bearish spot prices, which had dropped over 10 cents/lb in the last week on the back of long supply and poor demand which
