Over the years, university affiliates have often come to the Free Software Foundation for advice on how to cope with administrators who see software only as something to sell. One good method, applicable even for specifically funded projects, is to base your work on an existing program that was released under the GNU GPL. Then you can tell the administrators, &ldquo;We're not allowed to release the modified version except under the GNU GPL&mdash;any other way would be copyright infringement.&rdquo; After the dollar signs fade from their eyes, they will usually consent to releasing it as free software.
