<p><q>The Open Source Initiative has shared the experiences of Software

     Freedom Conservancy in navigating the financial management needs of

<p><q>The <a href="https://fsf.org/">Free Software Foundation</a> is committed to doing all of its work,

both public-facing and internal, using only free software. We are thankful to

the developers of SQL Ledger for providing the accounting software that has

served us well for many years. As we have grown, so have the complexities of

our finances.  Because of our own needs and our mission to help other

organizations — both inside and outside of the technology sphere

— run their operations on exclusively free software, we wholeheartedly

support this Conservancy initiative.</q> &mdash; <a href="http://www.fsf.org/about/staff-and-board#johns">John Sullivan</a>, Executive

<p><q>Open source is a great way to solve new problems and make software that

is more flexible and responsive to the needs of the people who use it. That's

as true for the finance industry as it is on the web.</q>
