For this reason, it is essential that schools use free software. There are three reasons why schools should use exclusively free software. The most shallow reason is to save money. Even in a developed country, schools never have enough money, and so the use of computers in schools is held back. Now, if the schools use free software, then the school system has the freedom to make copies and redistribute them to all the schools and they do not have to pay for permission to use the software. So the school system can thus install more computers, make more facilities available. In addition, the GNU plus Linux operating system is more efficient than Windows, so you can use an older, less powerful, cheaper model of computer. Maybe you can use a second-hand computer that somebody else is getting rid of. So that is another way to save. That is obvious, but it is shallow.
