<h1>Why AFS.one?</h1>
<p>
We wanted to create a collaborative repository highlighting success cases of
Enterprise Free Software Publishers with a focus on those companies that actually
create it and a bias towards <b>real Free software</b> - software that users
can actually modify, fix, improve or share.
</p>
<p>
Target Audience are Enterprises willing to implement Free Software with all the
warranties and long term commitment provided by a Commercial Software Publisher.
</p>
<p>
The idea of <ahref="http://www.afs.one/"title="AFS | Awesome Free Software">AFS</a>
was not create yet another directory of Open Source/Free Software such as
<ahref="http://freecode.com/">freecode</a> or another guide of supposed
Open Source Software, that uses the term "Open Source" as a marketing
argument to promote proprietory software that cannot be modified, fixed, improved
or shared.
</p>
<p>
Our ultimate goal is to ensure that Enterprises can take control of their IT
through Free Software and reduce their risks thanks to this model of publishing.
