DrGenius moved out of SEUL

[Hilaire Fernandes <hilaire@ext.cri74.org>]

Because of different position regarding free software and
 proprietary ones on GNU/Linux, I have to detach the
DrGenius project from the SEUL organization.

The new page of DrGenius is at http://ofset.sourceforge.net/drgenius, 
I ask to the administrator - Roger I guess - to immediatly 
delete this mailing and the web site of DrGenius and DrGeo as well as 
my account at Seul.

A new mailing list has been setup and all information needed 
to subscribe can be found at the new web page of DrGenius.

In attachment follow an official letter explaining the split.

Doug, Roger, 


We have  already argue  a lot together  about the license  issue.  You
know my exactly thinking on  this issue.  I'm personally convince that
Seul/Edu is  hurting the free  software community in education  with a
pragmatic position  that argue that  every good software can  help the
growth of GNU/Linux in education.

I think  the point is not to  get GNU/Linux or FreeBSD  or GNU/Hurd or
whatever  free operating  system, I  think the  point is  to  get free
software for education: this means  free operating system but also end
user applications.

I  think  that each  time  spent  advocating  for port  of  commercial
education soft to the GNU  system hurts the free software community in
education  because this  is time  that  is not  spent supporting  free
education software.

I think that each publicity  made about non free education software on
GNU/Linux hurt free education  software because this is publicity that
is not done for a free education software.

Finally, and probably the worst  effect, each time spent talking about
commercial  education software  is  a lost  time  for advocating  free
software philosophy and its benefice for education.

It  is  my believing  that  you don't  believe  in  the free  software
community in education and that  commercial education soft is all will
need the education.

My believing is that we have to try, this is not an easy task, to make
a better world.

Because of  this, I want  to detach  myself of Seul  and I ask  you to
remove both DrGeo and DrGenius project from SEUL.

Because of  these same reasons  the Free Software Foundation  has also
decided to  remove the SEUL  reference they had on  their organization
page.

Sincerely,

Hilaire
