Why not ? That is atleast far better than using totally propreitary systems which does not come with any source at all right ?
Not at all, issue is not the source code, but freedom of user.
We were speaking about including alternates to proprietary OSes in the 8th grade school curriculums. In that context i would say that actually teaching *some* practical and usable GNU software would be a more practical option than making political view points about Free vs OpenSource etc
GNU/Linux being the the most popular carrier of GNU licensed and (all any other relaxed or freedom mode licensed) products i dont see any other better alternatives too.
What did you have in mind ?
