[Fsf-friends] Kerala school training material

[ck raju]

Juan,
One should think of an experiment or exercise which makes use of the
other levels of freedom thereby making it impossible for a non free

their non free preventive licences. In this example, it is possible to
introduce a learner to make a movie and edit its contents using non
free software.
