I think if there were complete transparency in university site licensing agreements, especially the sweetheart kickbacks the universities get for pushing certain proprietary software into students and curriculum to force familiarity over open source, there would be calls for prison sentences.
pretty sure ESRI’s entire business model in the US exists because of their capture of educational institutions.
I’ve heard some things about uni’s and proprietary software shenanigans but i don’t know enough about it. Wouldn’t be surprised if they take bribes to entrench shit software in the world
