It’s my understanding that none of the major non-profit SaaS players use open source tools.

But I’m sure that their services pricing has been adjusted to account for loss of licensing revenue.

It’s peer reviewed (good), but it’s got a rather restrictive license, and the content is not freely available. The journal is, basically, business as usual.
