PTA te refieres Daniel? eso en Argentina no tengo la menor idea mi hijo va a una escuela de su pais en la Argentina. School Board Superintendency creo que seria el Ministerio de Educacion, realmente no se como se manejan en Argentina. Pero si se denuncia si la justicia internviene sean escuelas o sean negocios, la ley se aplica, la estan comenzando a aplicar en la Argentina. Vos vivis en USA no Daniel? alla las leyes de etica, moral y derechos se aplican. :-) Creci en ese sistema y me eduque alli Christ --- Daniel Ajoy <[email protected]> wrote:
Podemos denunciar a las escuelas que sabemos usan software trucho (como dicen ustedes)?
Una lista de escuelas en la internet, y una carta a los medios explicando las implicaciones... ellos aman los esc�ndalos.
Hay algo equivalente en Argentina a los "school board members". El comit� de padres de familia quiz�? Quiz� alg�n miembro del comit� podr�an exigir que la escuela tenga licencias de software para el software utilizado que necesita licencias...
Quiz� podr�a hacer ese pedido en una asamblea...

BTW, Why doesn't Stallman like the the word "pirate" applied to software?
because it is stupid to equate helping people with attacking a ship, attacking a ship is bad, helping people (by giving software for free) is good. Hence the dislike of the term.
Greetings,
First off, OSS is, in my opinion, the way to go for a number of reasons. In this Stallman is correct, although he dislikes the name "Open Source."
But, if I create a piece of software, investing my time and money and equipment so to make it work, and if I decide to sell the binary and keep the source as a secret, it is my creation to do with as I so desire. I have no moral obligation to take something which I created and give it away.
If I choose to give the source to the community, with certain restrictions such as with the GNU Public License, that is also acceptable. I can determine what to do with that which I create.
For me to use something that I have no permission to use is stealing or piracy. Even if I don't agree with the terms of usage but need the program, I can not take it on my terms. I don't have that right. If I have permission to use the program with certain restrictions -- such as under the GPL -- then I have the moral obligation to follow that license agreement.
For moral reasons, especially the planned obsolescence of proprietary software, I do not choose to use it. Morally I believe the GPL and other open source licenses are more defensible, thus I choose to use open source software.
I personally refuse to use Microsoft products. But where a shop or individual uses Microsoft products, I believe we must encourage them to act in accordance with both the spirit and the letter of the End User License Agreement. Indeed, we need to be so anal retentive about it, showing the absurdity of the EULA, that people will reject the products covered by the EULA.
I am a school board member. I am insisting that we can prove that every piece of software is covered by a proper license. This means, because we have not used site licensing, that for each copy of Windows 95/98 which we run, we must have a proper certificate of authenticity and the proper EULA. If we can't do that, those computer systems can not be powered on. (Oh, let's just load Linux and open source software and be done with the problem.)
