    Bonne nouvelle pour les tenants des logiciels libres. La division antitrust du ministère de la Justice américain (Department of Justice) accède à la demande que l'Open Software Initiative (OSI) et la Free Software Foundation (FSF) leur avaient adressée en décembre 2010 concernant le devenir des brevets de Novell. Ce qui ne signifie pas que les deux organismes remportent l'adhésion du DoJ à leurs revendications mais que ce dernier est prêt à leur fournir une oreille attentive. Un premier pas dans la lutte pour la préservation du modèle open source.

  • The Kerala IT Education Department believes that sharing is an important virtue. However, sharing a proprietary software would be a violation of the End User License Agreement (EULA).
  • Thinking about the massive cost involved in setting up the IT infrastructure based on Windows, it was better to have the OS and applications realigned for Linux and other free software.

  • the Free Software Foundation of India suggested developing a custom distribution for IT@School and eventually created the distribution with funding from the Kerala State IT Mission
  • IT@School has managed to get concession on broadband rate for all schools
  • Resources which are available under GPL and Creative Commons can straight away be customised to their requirements. This builds innovation and networking without much financial burden
