“Si traes software libre al colegio, debes de compartirlo con otros niños.”

¿Por qué las escuelas sólo deberían utilizar software libre?

Para:
  • Ahorrar dinero.
  • No sentirse atados a un software o sistema operativo concreto.
  • Animar a convertirse en mejores ciudadanos y vecinos compartiendo libremente con otras personas que necesitan ayuda.
  • Animar a los futuros programadores a aprender el código fuente libremente disponible, así como a reutilizarlo y mejorarlo.
  • Etc.
"First, free software can save the schools money (...) And proprietary software developers can eliminate this disadvantage by donating copies to the schools. (Watch out!—a school that accepts this offer may have to pay for future upgrades.)"

"If schools teach students free software, then the students will use free software after they graduate."

"we encourage students of any age and situation to read the source code and learn as much as they want to know."

"The most fundamental mission of schools is to teach people to be good citizens and good neighbors—to cooperate with others who need their help. In the area of computers, this means teaching them to share software."
