If we exposed this kids to proprietary software, do we have the ability to provide them:
* MS Office
* Photoshop (for future artists)
* Flash (for future game programmers/designers)
* AutoCAD (for future engineers)
* Maya (for future animators)
* SPSS (for future researchers)
* SPSS (for future researchers)

All those softwares for 13.6M kids -- yearly. Each license costs how much?!?

The FOSS community has been fighting the proprietary software for this very reason.

We have to face that fact that our generation has been hooked using proprietary software, that's why people like RMS is just a freedom nagger to most of us.
