ACK.

One remark in the beginning that when you speak of Free Software, you
mean free as in freedom, not as in free beer, will solve the issue.

Most of the following arguments depend on the freedom to use, share
and modify. If you don't have these freedoms, you can not freely
cooperate with other schools etc.. Why shouldn't we mention it?

Greetings,

Guido
