Dear Marko,

>Note that you're advertising your work to the wrong audience.
>This list is about free software in education

My ultimate motive is to advance open source education software, and
accelerate development.

The project being advocated is designed to produce strictly GPL-v3'd
education software that is also available outside of the particular
platform described.

I am a long-time FOSS developer and advocate ... 15 years now.   What I am
advocating is something new, but not, I hope, something at-odds with GNU
philosophy.   In fact, I have thought long and hard about this particular
model and how not to offend my colleagues in the open source education
software community.

I am interested to fix any holes in my scheme, though, so could you
elaborate on where I could be mistaken?

Thank you,
Charles
