  Generally we use the software that best fulfills (and ideally, exceeds) our requirements. In most cases, this is commercial soft­ware, not because we believe that commercial soft­ware is in­variably better than free­ware, but because it is easier to resort to established standards than it is to test and compare innumerable similar applications.
However, standards are not always defined by commercial solutions and it can be well worth­while to follow up a recommendation or give in to curiosity.
We would herewith like to express our gratitude to the following persons, organizations, and companies for making their work available free of charge.
