I will half way agree to you, I train people on these foss platforms and many fresher students want to learn c/c++ on GNU/Linux after they have realized that TC is not the way to go.However, to be proactive can we get this on university levels/ govt levels..?
Even if we create a free online edition, they are not going to follow,as they are already following the way of all others who are doing it with TC... The only suggestion I would make is to just make students/professors aware that there's a free world out there...also I do not think all colleges must be using licensed copies for TC...
