What Does Free Software Have To Do With Education?



Software freedom has an especially important role in education.  Educational institutions of all levels should use and teach Free  Software because it is the only software that allows them to accomplish  their essential missions: to disseminate human knowledge and to prepare  students to be good members of their community. The source code and the  methods of Free Software are part of human knowledge. On the contrary,  proprietary software is secret, restricted knowledge, which is the  opposite of the mission of educational institutions. Free Software  supports education, proprietary software forbids education.

Free Software is not just a technical question; it is an ethical, social, and political question. It is a question of the human rights that the users of software ought to have. Freedom and cooperation are essential values of Free Software. The GNU System implements these values and the principle of sharing, since sharing is good and beneficial to human progress.

To learn more, see the  Free Software definition  and our article on  why software should be free (as in freedom).
