+ 1 digg I'm in the process of writing the whole ECDL courseware for a national charity that can't afford to license the material from third parties. And while I fully appreciate a need to extol the virtues of Open Source Software, the sad truth is that until commercial enterprises recognise F/OSS then educational establishments will continue to push Microsoft products into their training material. And that's fine, because educating someone in something that's 100% relevant is what ECDL is all about.
Still, that doesn't mean creative license won't allow me a little leeway.
