This came from one of the IT staff at uOttawa. I've put in my 2 cents
that demanding file formats is one thing, but asking students to pay
more than $200 for software when there are Free/Libre alternatives falls
in the "not nice" column.

One thing I don't know about is whether there is any open software that
can mimic MS Access. It may be that a few of us could do a "workalike"
to this document that lists the alternatives to M$ and the "price" i.e.,
download location in each case.
