F/LOSS is deeply rooted in Copyright Law
The GPL and other F/LOSS licenses rely on Copyright Law
You can only use and distribute the software under the terms and conditions of the license
The author strongly retains authorship and control

Public Domain has no Copyright
Works in the public domain has no person or legal entity who can establish or maintain proprietary interests within a particular legal jurisdiction: so to speak, it has no author but rather is considered common knowledge
There are no laws which restrict its use by the public at large
Proprietary rights are founded in national laws, so an item may be public domain in one jurisdiction but not another

In 2001 the Gendarmerie Nationale started introducing open source softwareThe main goals were to gain greater independence and flexibility than proprietary software could offer

The use of F/LOSS allowed more flexibility and made the introduction of new standards easierF/LOSS met their needs and offered greater transparency and was easier to adapt and changeIn 2005 the Gendarmerie replaced Microsoft Office with its open source counterpart OpenOffice, which not only was available at no cost, but also allowed for exactly this modularity and transparency the Gendarmerie required“We didn't want any of our software to force us to employ a special operating system”

When Microsoft announced its new operating system Vista in 2006, the Gendarmerie thought that at some point in the near future a migration of the whole operating system would be necessaryThe group had gained considerable expertise in working with open source software through the several projects implemented since 2001The desktop usability of several GNU/Linux distributions had also significantly improved since that timeThe decision to migrate all new workstations to Ubuntu Linux was finally taken in January 2008

The German city of Munich is migrating its computers to open source and GNU/Linux, both on desktops and serversRather than lowering IT costs, the main motive is the desire for strategic independence from software suppliers

The LiMux project puts great emphasis on becoming independent from software suppliers. “Microsoft has shown us what it means to be dependent on a vendor.”Until 2003, the city was using Microsoft Windows NT 4 across the board, and was by and large satisfiedThe City commissioned a study checking on both proprietary and open source solutions, with regard to their cost effectiveness, technical feasibility and strategic implications. The result of this was a tie match

The total cost for the proprietary solution were calculated to be 35 million Euro, against 37 million Euro for GNU/Linux These included all costs beyond the solution itself, such as personnel and training costs, over five yearsWhile the proprietary solution was deemed to be slightly more cost-effective over the full period, the strategic advantage of being free to take its own IT decisions led the city council to decide in favor of the migration to GNU/Linux

The city partnered with SuSE/Novell and IBM and worked out a detailed concept for the migration during 2003 and 2004The actual migration has been running since 2005 once all legal sides had been clearedFor most it has been a soft migration, first installing the open source applications Thunderbird, Firefox and OpenOffice on Windows computers, then rolling out the GNU/Linux basic clientThis gradual approach keeps the demand for training and support services manageableProprietary software will be used where a migrations is either impossible or not cost-effective, possibly migrating to platform independent web browser applications

This will also complete the internal move to the ODF document format and stop the incessant flow of templates being built all over different officesThe migration also offers an opportunity to standardize the city's heterogeneous IT environmentIn August 2008, 8500 of the city's 14.000 workplaces are using OpenOffice, and 1.200 workplaces LiMuxThe city goal is “80% + X by 2012”

Closeness to the Customer
Management advice often repeated is "Stay close to the customer." If you sell software, what better way to do this than by co-opting your customers' engineers to help your development?
Broader Market
An important side-effect of the open-source model will be a much wider platform range for your product. Open-source authors frequently find themselves receving, for free, port changes for operating systems and environments they barely know exist and can't afford developers to support. Each such port, of course, widens the market appeal of the product.

Support / service sellers and Loss leader have so far proven to be reliable business methods for commercial success in the free and open source software arena.
Nevertheless, there is good reason to believe that the clearest near-term gains in open-source will be in widget frosting
For widget-makers (such as semiconductor or peripheral-card manufacturers), interface software is not even potentially a revenue source. Therefore the downside of moving to open source is minimal
