'FOSS, bandwidth key' - Shuttleworth
,----[ Quote ]
| Shuttleworth also emphasised repeatedly the importance of free and
| open source software to development.
|
| In the education sector, he said, free and open source software was a
| key component in developing skills. He cited examples from schools
| where restricitive proprietary licensing meant schools are only able
| to afford software to cater for narrow interest groups.
|
| In contrast, he said, free and open source software allows schools to
| provide a full range of software to students that can cater for alls
| kills and intesrest groups without having to worry about software
| licences.
