Is any of this floss?

  • Wine is FLOSS, and so the solution is a FLOSS one, even if the Windows package is proprietary. I think Wine deserves a mention because it can be life-saver in situations where a Windows package is considered a "must-have". Also, a lot of work has been done to test which proprietary educational packages work with Wine, and this knowledge should be documented.
  • There aren't that many UK schools using FLOSS, and for sure none of them have adopted Richard Stallman's high-principled stance about refusing to use any proprietary software.
