The opportunity to *experiment* with Free Software necessarily means<br>
using all its freedoms - to escape from accusation of merely "using"<br>
it. There may be plenty of areas like soliciting students to<br>
contribute to the graphics contents or to the localisation efforts, in<br>
the beginning and substantial hacks towards the end - most of which<br>
cannot be undertaken with non-free software and finally distributing<br>
or publishing them under GPL. Once teachers are exposed to these<br>
possibilities, they may be able to solicit opinions from their own<br>
student communities and come out with better findings.<br>
