LibreItalia Conference in Empoli (December 10, 2022) - The Document Foundation Blog
Members and supporters of LibreItalia, the not for profit association that promotes the use of open source software and open formats, met on Saturday, December 10, in Empoli (near Florence) to discuss the adoption of these solutions – which ensure the independence of companies and users from multinational technology corporations, and guarantee the freedom and privacy of content – in public administrations, in order to comply with the dictate of the Digital Administration Code, one of the most ignored Italian laws ever.
The use of software and document formats that are not controlled by a single company, and that are not driven by its business strategies, is a prerequisite in the direction of the independence of a country – starting with individual citizens and ending with institutions – that is the basis of the so-called “digital sovereignty,” that is, self-sufficiency with respect to digital technologies controlled by Big Tech.

The explanation is simple: syslog-ng also has an open-source version. Actually, syslog-ng started as an open-source project and it kept most of its users. The commercial editions started almost a decade later.
