I'm in the midst of putting together an article on open source user stories and you would not believe the crazy reasons people have for adopting open source: reducing licensing costs, increasing flexibility, making better use of their skills, reducing ongoing maintenance costs, decreasing development time... the list goes on.

Of course, it is always possible these people are out of their minds.
