Hi list,
I'm curious to hear your point of view to this: the university asked me to review the list of software they want to order for the department. They've got also Max/MSP and Jitter on the list. This is a nice thing but my point is: the students already work with PD, why should they use and learn software they might not be able to afford after they leave the university? I guess you all agree that the money should rather be spent in PD development. but since there is no license to aquire the university can't ask companys to give bids on this deal. how can open source projects handle this? any suggestions?
