Lots of companies are using open source software, more of them all the time. Most are hoping to save money. The next stated reasons made us chuckle:

She's a terrible person, but saying she's a one-hit wonder is unfair. Here's a list of famous and acclaimed authors who only wrote one novel. And she wrote several, even if all in the same series. Criticize for for her true faults: being a hateful hag that makes the world a worse place and isn't worth the O2 she consumes.
