Because I want to understand, in the most personal possible way, what the pains (if any) of migration to an all free and open source platform will be. I stopped at the license agreement.

It would not be as cost-effective (and thus, not produce as much profit) if these SaaS developers had to pay license fees for the software they use (besides the fact that these are the most stable and robust platforms to build upon.) Personally I love open source and think it’s part of what the web’s about.

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

Depending on the CRM, some require additional license fees for forms or APIs. I personally haven’t seen evidence that average charity users need or even use platform neutral APIs. Some take internal staff resources (especially the Manual strategy.) Others take developer resources (especially the Integration strategy.)
