"So, if someone introduces a feature in the software, it benefits the whole society. In this case, the developers in Oman introduced a feature which benefited newspapers in Kerala to publish."

Story of how a newspaper in #Kerala, #India moved to #Scribus, a #FreeSoftware, for publishing. Many times people say Free Software is missing this feature or that feature and only programmers benefit from the freedom to modify. Read this story by @ravi
