Free Software/Open Source Software is free as in free speech and not free as in free beer. But it doesn't restrict you from distributing the software free, as in free beer, but free as in free speech is mandatory. Open Source/Free Software refer to the license of a software.
Please check the license of the software given to the schools. If the license falls under Free Software licenses [ http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html], you can check the repository for the code, or else ask the distributor to give you the code. It is necessary that you give the source code for a Free Software, but not always necessary that it should come on the same disk in which the software came. You can always obtain the source code from the distributor for no extra cost. -- Anoop Jacob Thomas http://anoop.caremedia.org -- "Freedom is the only law".
