Edu/a2k: support for teachers: case for free software weak (rms via Simona on fcforum)
From Talk:Barcelona Charter for Innovation Creativity and Access to Knowledge - Libre Interpretation
Teaching and use of non-free software in publicly supported schools should be disallowed.
Libre interpretation amended as follows:
- Rename the section to Software, Standards and Policy
- Added "(as a matter of policy)" in the text of that section.
The statement is now stronger (as a matter of policy) without coming across as placing restrictions on educational institutions (an objection to rms's suggestion raised by one participant).
