If they develop skills and a body of work using open source software, it can follow them through high school, college, and even into the professional world. It won&#8217;t cost them or their school any license fees. Using the open formats promoted by free &amp; open source software, their writings and projects will stay accessible, avoiding bitrot. Should the children develop a real interest in a particular tool, the nature of open source is such that they can actually affect change on the tool itself &#8211; by actions as small as filing a bug report right up to submitting patches and developing new features.
