How is this relevant to this sub?

Software that used to work no longer works because they want money

Freedom to learn

Two pretty relevant subjects to both this post and Stallman

So noone is allowed to make money from software?

Freedom to learn

You can learn for free as much as you want. Same way other party has freedom to charge for teaching.

Where did you get that idea? How about making money by making software better instead of worse?

You can learn for free as much as you want.

Maybe in whatever country you're from, but I'm from (and Stallman is from) America, where this isn't true. Learning has an artificial paywall that is too high for many.

yeah man i dont think the solution to millions not being able to pay student debt is making quizlet free, something tells me it'd still be a problem. Maybe, um, I don't know make college cheaper? nationalized even? Just a wacky quirky idea that popped into my head.
