Can probably use it for law classes too. And ethics.

When I first time had Linux class twenty years ago at a secondary school first thing the often gentoo ltsp server compiling teacher told us was how he wrote a bookkeeping program using some proprietary tech and then had to pay so much for like the rest of his life that it wasn’t funny at all, Now I know firsthand why rms calls cellphones tracking devices etc We are in the Middle Ages of software or something :D
