18 Site credits
19 ============
20
21 This site was built with a number of open-source software products. I feel it
22 is important to give enough credit to the involved people, who spend their
23 free time developing and supporting these software suites.
24
25 Open-source software has numerous advantages over proprietary, commercial
26 products:
27
28 - It is developed by users of the software, not people trying to make money by
29   selling it. As a direct consequence, it doesn't suffer from the marketing
30   syndrome, and it provides the features that users need, not those which the
31   company wants to sell.
32
33 - The source code is available to everyone. Not only does this mean that
34   anyone can modify the product to better suit their needs, it also greatly
35   facilitates problem-solving, since one can inspect the source of any
36   problem.
37
38 - Open-source software has a large community using and supporting it. Direct
39   help from the developers is absolutely no rarity, and if they are not
40   available, then numerous (experienced) users are ready to help one, and to
41   work with one to solve any problems.
42
43 - And last, but very much not least: Open-source software is free. No
44   complicated and capitalistic licensing models, no "software assurance" or
45   similarly flawed license subscriptions, no problems with upgrades, and a lot
46   more money left for other things.
47
48 As said, this site was created with a number of open-source software suites.
49 In particular, I would like to thank:
