Why PHP
PHP is the most used programming language for Rapid Application Development on the 'Web. Check out the statistics at TIOBE for reference with other languages. PHP is GPL Licensed and therefore also Open Source software.
Why Open Source
The most notable benefit of Open Source Software is its nature of full disclosure of the underlying code base. This allows hundreds of thousands of people to review the system on a continued basis which leads to quality control levels and surety on security that cannot be rivalled by closed systems. The open nature of the constituent parts of the software allows for easy customization and rapid custom application development. With so many people familiar with the source code, support and solutions development is a free market for a client with many companies and individuals available.
The benefits of Open Source leads to its dominance in the market in many fields from our own 'Web market (with Apache which serves most of the sites on the Internet, MySQL which serves most of the databases on the Internet and PHP which is still growing in usage even as it is already the most used of its kind of programming language).

Why GPL
The GPL (GNU General Public License) is a software licence known as one of the copyleft licences. Essentially, it is free software and preserves the free nature of the software for future distributed development. The GPL also means any software licensed under it will be Open Source software. For our clients this means you do not pay for the software we use (Drupal, Apache, PHP, MySQL and more) but only for the service we offer in implementing them. Burtronix, therefore, will always have to add the significant value it has become known for to our product offerings and service levels.
