The GPL is more OSS friendly than QPL, isn't it (isn't Qt governed by 
the QPL???)

The average student doesn't but I know there people like you, me and 
other OSS advocates.
I have even wrote letters to the board and they have replied saying it 
would be a good idea but have done nothing about it. Now about 6 months 
after I wrote the proposal, and explaining Samba, etc. they are 
replacing Novell with NT. This makes me mad (i even know the board 
recieved the letter cuz one of my teachers found it funny. grrrr.....). 
I don't care if its KDE, GNOME, IceWM or even console I WANT LINUX IN MY 
SCHOOL!!!!

My school board can be reached at: www.gecdsb.on.ca/d&g/

Konqueror is better, bar none, but Eazels new product might create some
