But it would be possible to look at what they had provided and copy it
in principle. Logotron is one of the most experienced education
specialist software suppliers in UK education. They started with Logo
back in the early 80s. Its likely they researched this with education
authority advisers.

So copy all their content producing free equivalents and distribute as
an OOo education extras :-) Still not a trivial amount of work which is
