| |
| Although SavaPage is [[https://fsfe.org/about/basics/freesoftware.html|Free Software]], it is not a "free" product. Free software is a matter of //liberty//, not price, and SavaPage fits into this picture by being a Libre solution supported by [[subscription|Software Subscription]]. | [[https://fsfe.org/about/basics/freesoftware.html|Free Software]] is all about //liberty//, but that liberty does come at a price. Although anyone can use the software for free (as in "free beer"), organizations that use our software in a production environment are strongly encouraged to become a Community [[Roles#Resident|Resident]] by purchasing support from a [[roles#service_provider|SavaPage Service Provider]]. |
