I don't entirely disagree with it. Schools would benefit from having 
students use free software in lieu of proprietary solutions. Not only 
would it allow the more curious users to take a look at the code but it 
would also allow users who want to continue using some of the software 
to do so at home, free of charge. Schools have an objective of 
integrating all students of all social statuses and incomes and free 
software allows that. Apple products do not cater to the poor at all and 
definitely limit how far a curious user can go when it comes to 
discovering the software.

It's not a bad idea and many distributions exclude proprietary software 
for legal or philosophical reasons. However, these proprietary solutions 
should be EASILY available to the user if he chooses to install them 
rather than completely barred the way Stallman advocates.

Ah, point well made.
