Limitations of Open Source Software
For any upgradation/change in the OSS, the library needs support. In case of OSS, there is no
body to solve problem, either one has to hire some expert to solve the problem or library should make
arrangement with some company. Open source products require technical expertise to operate and
maintain open source costs more to support because the software is typically self- supporting. Generally,
a commercial software company will immediately respond on customer requests for any problem. With
OSS, if one doesn't do it himself, he/she is at the mercy of a disjoint community of developers.
