This is another example, corp pay to use open source (https://tidelift.com/).
They are paying to have someone to cover them if something mess up, like a reliable mantainer.
So i think that why corp still pay for pdf solution, e-signing and stuff like that rather than implement from open source solution.
I think, because Corp.
In Corp, they want someone to be in charge, and take reponsible when something mess up.
It is easy for IT to proposed to buy a solution, because the vendor take responsible for mess up, rather than use open-source and have to fix bug themselves.
There are also case where developer push malware into open-source.
Really I can find many open source solution that can edit PDF, even OCR the PDF for free (you might need to run OCR engine with your CPU, or pay for OCR service)
Can someone give me short sentences that an non-nerd understand?
