This page lists the benefits for Not For Profit organizations (NFPs)

• Need to minimize costs - no license fees to pay for installation or upgrade
• No license issues / audits
• Can be given away free to share with volunteers etc
• Compatibility with MS-Office means migration / use of casual labour is easy
• Cannot afford vendor-enforced upgrades
• May need to operate in multiple, possibly local minority languages
