Why do you think some proprietary developers offer gratis copies to schools? They want the schools to make the children dependent. And then, when they graduate, they're still dependent and, you know, the company is not going to offer them gratis copies. And some of them get jobs and go to work for companies. Not many of them anymore, but some of them. And those companies are not going to be offered gratis copies. Oh no! The idea is: if the school directs the students down the path of permanent dependence, they can drag the rest of society with them into dependence. That's the plan! It's just like giving the school gratis needles full of addicting drugs, saying: &ldquo;Inject this into your students, the first dose is gratis. Once you're dependent, then you have to pay.&rdquo; Well, the school would reject the drugs because it isn't right to teach the students to use addictive drugs, and it's got to reject the proprietary software also.
