<h1>Reasons to push for Free Software in your university</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p class="background">
|
|
Free Software gives you choice. No matter which program or
|
|
operating system you pick, your files will work fine, and your
|
|
favourite programs will be available. There's no license fee to
|
|
pay, and you can modify your software as you like.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Free Software improves your education<br/>
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------</h2>
|
|
<h2>Acquire displayable skills </h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Nowadays, it is not enough to know how to use a certain office program.
|
|
It's important to understand the concepts underlying a whole category or
|
|
type of software not merely how to use a particular application.
|
|
|
|
Instead of learning just one application, understand how to use a whole
|
|
category of programs! You'll be able to quickly adapt to any IT
|
|
environment, a key skill nowadays.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Be independent</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are taught to rely on proprietary software, you will depend
|
|
on something you'll have to pay for. If you learn to rely on Free
|
|
Software, you can continue using this software in your adult life while
|
|
helping others by sharing it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Learning in native language</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Free Software applications are being translated into almost any language.
|
|
Thus you can learn and focus on the actual subject without any language or
|
|
cultural barriers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Using Free Software is the logical economic decision<br/>
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------</h2>
|
|
<h2>Keep your university independent</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Universities should be centers of learning, not marketing channels for
|
|
software. Free Software keeps their IT independent of any particular
|
|
software vendor.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Spend on brains, not licenses</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Money is always tight in education. Available funds should go towards
|
|
teaching and building skills, rather than paying license fees for
|
|
proprietary software.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Be ecologically responsible</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Free Software doesn't require powerful hardware and runs on almost any
|
|
computer. It can give new life to old computers, saving both money and
|
|
the environment.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Contribute to a free society<br/>
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------</h2>
|
|
<h2>Solidarity</h2>
|
|
<p>Using Free Software allows you to cooperate with others
|
|
and join a global community that shares knowledge.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Liberty</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Free Software is about freedom, not price. With Free Software, you have
|
|
the control over the software you use. You can use, study, share and improve it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Equality</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With Free Software, teachers can give a copy to each
|
|
student. Students with fewer financial resources
|
|
have access to the same tools as their peers.
