Free software in education is highly important. This is why several members of the free software community have established OFSET, Organization for Free Software in Education and Teaching. This organization will try to raise funds for development of free educational software, promote development of free educational software and coordinate the development of specific projects. OFSET is committed to the idea of free software as defined by the Free Software Foundation. This is why we have chosen to promote the GNU General Public License, the GPL, as the license that free educational software should use.
