software, though proprietary software can have its own challenges.<br>
Any type of change can be hard for folks. =C2=A0In the past, there would be=
<br>
a lot of &quot;FUD&quot; cast against open source software, and there may s=
till<br>
be pockets of that. =C2=A0These days, in my opinion, open source is<br>
ubiquitous, though often used behind the scenes. =C2=A0Even proprietary<br>
vendors often use open source tools and components, like Linux, MySQL,<br>
PostgreSQL, Apache, Perl, etc. =C2=A0They benefit from the open communities=
<br>
behind these, and libraries can benefit from having this same openness<br>
be higher in their technology &quot;stack&quot;.<br>

Can anyone think of anything else we should tell Kylie?<br>
