Signing up to a 'subscription service' for one company's exclusive software leaves us with nothing when we end the contract.

With open source, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors.

If we don't like the over-charging, tax-dodging and exporting profits overseas, we face the nightmare of vendor lock-in.

They own the software, so love it or lose it.

We call for UK Digital Sovereignty to turn the tide.
