Below is a list of Needs that can be met by using and supporting [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html free software] (often called "open source" software, though these [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html terms make a difference]). You are invited to add items and comments.
*Collaboration - people work together to build OSS.
 
*No additional cost per installation, so it can be shared freely.
 
*Equality - more computers can run typical OSS than can run typical commercial software.
 
*Internationality - most OSS has multiple language support.
 
*Openness - there is no secret code in OSS.
 
*Safety and Trust - because there are no secrets, it's easier to trust developers.
 
*Financial ease - most OSS is free.
 
*Evolutionary creativity - new features can be added or requested by anyone.
 
*Community and mutuality - it's fun to contribute.
 
*Cooperation (power with) - everyone's needs matter more equally.
 
*Stimulation - OSS is only limited by our ability to dream and contribute.
