Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] [Wylug-discuss] Microsoft: 'UK schools sitting on a time bomb' (fwd)

hi all (again) Openclassroom.org seems to have gone a bit quiet this year (one of the guys Jose Lacal seems to have moved on). Also look at www.k12linux.org i'll say it, that a) if all software was Open Source, schools would not be so vunerable to software license fraud b) it is not clear what the real purpose of the Microsoft mailing is, the Guide they are sending out could be seen as a revenue tool.

This could be REALLY good news for linux in schools... go on Bill - I dare you, sue someone and see how fast the others run!!

I also came across www.openclassroom.org the other day, which looks like a possible solution.
