+ <h1 class="title">Compliance Costs and the Apache License</h1>
+ <h2 id="software-license-compliance-costs">Software License Compliance Costs</h2>
+<p>The software industry watchdog, the Business Software Alliance, <a href="https://reporting.bsa.org/r/report/add.aspx?src=us">offers cash rewards</a> to disgruntled employees who confidentially turn in their
+employer (or ex-employer) for software piracy.</p>
+<p>They call this campaign, "Bust your Boss!" Rewards can range up to $1 million.</p>
+<p>As you probably already know, you don't own commercial software in the same way you own a chair or a desk. Instead, you license the software from the vendor, and this license gives you
+permission to use the software, but only under terms specified by the license. These terms typically say how many users or PC's may access the software. The terms might even include
+a clause allowing the vendor to audit your usage of the software.</p>
+<p>In order to avoid the expense and penalties of a BSA audit, organizations are increasingly adopting Software Asset Management (SAM) practices to ensure that their use of commercial
+software complies with the applicable licenses. These practices generally include employee education along with the purchase of software to track licenses and software use within
+the organization.</p>
+<p>The combined cost of these SAM practices is the "cost of compliance" for using commercial software. It is an expense that does not make your organization more productive, does not
+benefit your customers and adds nothing to the bottom line. It is purely risk mitigation. Along with license, maintenance and training costs, it is one of the expenses of using
+commercial software.</p>
+<h2 id="open-source-compliance-costs">Open Source Compliance Costs</h2>
+<p>As opposed to commercial software licenses, open source software have licenses that explicitly permit free redistribution. This reduces the cost of compliance for many
+organizations, since tracking application usage is not needed.</p>
+<p>However, organizations that use open source software and also develop and distribute their own proprietary software, can find themselves in trouble due to the viral nature (copyleft)
+of some open source licenses. If one of your employees or contractors inadvertently includes some copyleft code in your proprietary product, then you could be required by that license
+to make the source code for your entire product freely available to the public. That could kill your business.</p>
+<p>This is not just a theoretical concern. As aggressively as the BSA protects the interests of its commercial members, the Software Freedom Law Center protects the GPL license
+in <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org/news/2009/dec/14/busybox-gpl-lawsuit/">high-profile lawsuits against large corporations</a>, including Westinghouse, Samsung and Best Buy.</p>
+<p>So the cost of compliance with copyleft code can be even greater than the use of proprietary software, since an organization risks being forced to make the source code
+for their proprietary product public and available for anyone to use, free of charge. To mitigate this risk requires more employee education, more approval cycles, more internal audits
+and more worries. This is the increased cost of compliance when copyleft software is brought into an organization.</p>
+<h2 id="the-apache-advantage">The Apache Advantage</h2>
+<p>Not all open source licenses are copyleft license. Not all of them have that viral quality that radically increases the risk for an organization. A subset of open source licenses,
+generally called "permissive" licenses, are much more friendly for corporate use. These licenses include the MIT and BSD licenses, as well as the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0">Apache Software License 2.0</a>
+that we use for Apache OpenOffice.</p>
+<p>Like other open source licenses, the Apache License explicitly allows you to copy and redistribute the covered product, without any license fees or royalties. But because it is a
+permissive license, it also allows you to prepare and distribute derivative products, without any requirement to make your own source code public. So both BSA and SFLC risks
+are eliminated, and the cost, to your businessa, of license compliance is drastically reduced.</p>

+<p>Does this look familiar?</p>
+<p>When you try to open an ODF (Open Document Format) document, but you have no application installed that
+understands ODF, then Windows gives you the above dialog box and offers to show you other applications that can read ODF.</p>
+<p>If this happened to you, then we can help. Apache OpenOffice is the award-winning, free office suite that can read ODF documents, as well as Microsoft documents.</p>
+<h2 id="what-are-odf-documents">What are ODF documents?</h2>
+<p>ODF is an ISO Interational Standard format for office documents, created in 2006. ODF files have the following file extensions:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>*.odt (word processor documents)</li>
+<li>*.ods (spreadsheet documents)</li>
+<li>*.odp (presentation documents)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The advantage of ODF is that it is not tied to any one office applicatation suite. It is an open standard that any company can implement in their software.
+OpenOffice uses ODF format as its default document format. Most other word processors, of recent vintage, also have the ability to import and export ODF.</p>
+<h2 id="apache-openoffice">Apache OpenOffice</h2>
+<p>Apache OpenOffice is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is
+published by the non-profit Apache Software Foundation. OpenOffice is available in many languages and works on all common computers. OpenOffice can work with
+ODF documents as well as documents from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.</p>
+<p>If you want to read more about Apache OpenOffice, you can look <a href="/why/">here</a>.</p>
+<h2 id="so-what-do-i-need-to-do-to-read-my-odf-document">So what do I need to do to read my ODF document?</h2>
+<p><a href="/download">Download Apache OpenOffice</a> and install it on your machine. It only takes a few minutes to download and install. Once you have it installed you

+ <h2 id="complicated-software-developed-by-volunteers">Complicated software, developed by volunteers?</h2>
+<p>Apache OpenOffice is developed 100% by volunteers. Apache does not pay for developers, for translators, for QA, for marketing, for UI, for support, etc. Of course, we're
+happy to accept <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html">donations to the Apache Software Foundation</a>, to keep our servers runnings and for similar ovehead expenses. But our products are developed entirely by volunteers.</p>
+<p>Some users are intially worried by this statement. How can software for free, developed by volunteers, be any good?</p>
+<h2 id="talent-as-deep-as-any-corporation">Talent as deep as any corporation</h2>
+<p>OpenOffice, through its decade plus existance, has had, and continues to benefit from the contributions of many professionals. Some are sponsored by their employers to volunteer
+with the project. At one time or another Sun, Oracle, Novell, Redhat, IBM and others have sponsored their employees to work on OpenOffice. Some professional are recently retired
+and work on the project to keep their skills sharp or to "give back" to the open source community. Others have a business based on OpenOffice consulting, and volunteer with the
+project to stay close to potential customers. Others are students, studying software engineering or a related field, and participate in our project as a form of electronic
+internship.<br />
+</p>
+<p>So our all-volunteer principle is a statement of how we are organized, as a non-profit. But this is not a statement on the professionalism and talent of our volunteers. In fact,
+very few corporations would be able to afford the kind of talent that we have, as volunteers, helping with Apache OpenOffice.</p>
+<h2 id="join-us">Join us!</h2>
+<p>If you have skills in programming, quality assurance, translation, technical writing, graphic design, marketing or related disciplines, then you can make difference by
+<a href="http://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html">volunteering with the Apache OpenOffice project</a>. With the generous contributions of your time and talent, we can make OpenOffice even better!</p>
