    @SABRIINAGRIENDER I think it has to do with capitalism, especially here in the States. If they can’t reap a profit from it, they want nothing to do with it. and plus these devices and services are for developing countries, there are some who would exploit these people to their own advantage, if developing countries were given the tools and resources to advance, they wouldn’t need the “help” of major corporation, and they could establish and? sustain their own economy.

  • hrbear says:

    It’s a great idea that if you don’t have to pay for the software and the licences, then you? can buy more hardware and help the education as a result.
