It stands for transparency, collaboration and digital independence. As the code is openly accessible, users can understand how software works and identify potential weaknesses more quickly. At the same time, a culture of collaboration is created in which developers around the world contribute ideas and improvements. This accelerates innovation and knowledge does not remain hidden in individual companies or organizations. Open source thus makes a decisive contribution to greater trust and acceptance in the digital world.     <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, open source is of strategic importance for society, the economy and politics. It enables states and companies to maintain digital sovereignty and free themselves from the monopoly-like dependencies of proprietary providers. Open standards promote competition, reduce costs and facilitate the integration of different systems. Open source also plays an important role in long-term security, as errors are discovered and rectified collectively. Open source is therefore not just an alternative to proprietary solutions, but a key driver of innovation, resilience and independence in the digital age.    <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Hanken-Grotesk||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;23px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Hanken-Grotesk_bold|700||on|||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Hanken-Grotesk_thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_open_source_always_free_of_charge\"><\/span>Is open source always free of charge?<o:p><\/o:p><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Appreciation instead of price fixing<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Many people still equate open source with &#8220;free&#8221;. But this misconception is dangerous &#8211; because it devalues the work of countless developers who invest their time, expertise and passion in open software. Open source is not the &#8220;free buffet of IT&#8221; that everyone can help themselves to without giving anything back. Those who only see the price and not the value are overlooking the real core: open source thrives on community involvement, investment and an active community.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, use is often license-free &#8211; but adaptation, maintenance, support and further development have their price. And that&#8217;s a good thing: Only through professional partners, reliable services and joint investments can open source remain competitive and sustainable. Anyone who thinks they can &#8220;get away with it for free&#8221; with open source has not understood the principle. Because true appreciation is not shown by paying nothing, but by investing in quality, security and a shared digital future.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; next_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#dfe4e8&#8243; use_background_color_gradient=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;91deg&#8221; background_color_gradient_stops=&#8221;rgba(4,9,42,0.78) 48%|rgba(4,9,42,0.39) 100%&#8221; background_color_gradient_overlays_image=&#8221;on&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/iamfactory.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Demoanfrage.webp&#8221; background_position=&#8221;center_right&#8221; top_divider_style=&#8221;asymmetric4&#8243; top_divider_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; top_divider_height=&#8221;50px&#8221; top_divider_flip=&#8221;vertical&#8221; top_divider_height_tablet=&#8221;50px&#8221; top_divider_height_phone=&#8221;50px&#8221; top_divider_height_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; bottom_divider_style=&#8221;asymmetric4&#8243; bottom_divider_height=&#8221;50px&#8221; border_color_bottom=&#8221;#0433d1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px||50px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Hanken-Grotesk_bold||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;35px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Digital sovereignty at the IAM Factory<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6Ijc5IiwiZW5hYmxlX2h0bWwiOiJvZmYifX0=@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;IAM as a service&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#0433d1&#8243; button_bg_use_color_gradient=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;135deg&#8221; button_bg_color_gradient_stops=&#8221;#3fced0 0%|#0433d1 0%&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;10px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|700||on|||||&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|20px|10px|20px|true|true&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; button_bg_color_gradient_stops__hover=&#8221;#0433d1 100%|#3fced0 100%&#8221; button_bg_use_color_gradient__hover=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|hover&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;1px&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;#0433d1&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Hanken-Grotesk||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;23px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Hanken-Grotesk_bold|700||on|||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;2px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Hanken-Grotesk_thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;25px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_open_source_so_important\"><\/span>Why is open source so important?<o:p><\/o:p><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>The advantages of open source<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Open source is far more than just a technical alternative to proprietary software &#8211; it is a crucial building block for digital sovereignty, security and innovative strength.
