<div dir="ltr">Hi
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In Spain, but I suppone in every place of the world, there are many schools, universities or institutions that are dumped with free licences to their users. This happen especially in school and univerisities.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do we have best practices (e.g letter templates) describing the effect to teach proprietary GIS sw respect open/free solutions?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>whould be fine to have a template that could be enriched with national or regional laws.</div>
<div><br>
