How can it be free?
Answer
How can it be free?
Ubuntu is brilliant.
It's no wonder our users ask how all this can be free. The answer is simple.
- It's open source.
- It's managed and funded by Canonical.
Canonical is the number-one Ubuntu services provider. Companies can choose to receive expert training, support or consultancy for a fee that goes towards the continued development of Ubuntu.
Everybody's doing it – from IBM to Google, Firefox to Wikipedia – some of today's best software is based on open-source technologies. Shared code, shared efforts, shared principles. No cost.
