"Before the Linux system was set up, the county's check-writing program required a $5,000 payment to the original software creator every time the check design changed � even slightly. For example, if the signature on the county check changed, the county had to pay. If a department moved and the address on its checks had to be changed, the county had to pay. If the logo of a department was updated, it paid again. Now the county can change the checks in-house."
