Free Software for Schools

Our Purpose
‎

To promote sound educational philosophy in the use of Free Software in schools

To promote Free Software as the best path for schools, the wider community and governments

Why Free Software
“It's Free Software and it gives you freedom!” Software Freedom

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose.

The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbour.

The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Free software saves schools money.
