[TriLUG] Can open source solutions be viable companies?

[Chris Knowles]

Nuts.  Wanted to just go on nodding my head in agreement with the things
you've said Tanner.  but I've gotta put on my "paranoid bastard" hat.  

We looked at CO when it came out, and it's great.  It does what it says
it is going to do, and you can use office under linux.  However, it also
breaks the license agreement for office.  This is a concern for us 
mainly because we were hit with fines for being over license before, so
the PTB are very cautious, but also, I can't recommend a software
package that may land us in hot water.
