Re: [Trisquel-users] Adobe Flash required by math professor; how to confront him?

The issue of professors requiring the use of proprietary software, and how  
best to address it seems to come up here fairly often. I've written up  
something that could be used as a template for an email to a professor about  
this issue.Dear (Professor):My name is (Name), and I am a student in your  
(course name) course.  I'd like to talk to you about a problem I am having  
in your class.As a personal matter, I only install and run free software on  
my computer.  Free software is software that respects its users' freedom to  
run, copy, distribute, study, change, and improve it.  The complete  
definition of free software can be found at  
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.Software freedom is very  
important to me, especially with regard to education, so I was disappointed  
to find out that the use of (non-free program) is required in your class.I'd  
like to discuss this issue with you in greater depth.  Hopefully we can  
reach a solution that is acceptable to both of us.Sincerely,(Name)
