Abstract
Most power system software packages are commercial proprietary products that require a generally costly license. This fact is implicitly accepted as normal in the power system community. However, there can be a reliable and costless alternative. This alternative is provided by Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). This chapter shows that FOSS is a valid platform to distribute educational and research-oriented tools for power system analysis as it has proved to be in several other scientific fields.
