Pedagogical Bundle Lets You Pay What You Want For Educational Software 57
First time accepted submitter rycks writes "Following on the success of the various Humble Bundles for DRM-free video games and eBooks, there is now a pedagogical offer. It includes Mulot for mouse training, Fubuki the brain breaker with mathematical problems, Mental Calculation to learn and train with mathematical tables, Raconte-moi to share voice over pictures stories, and a package with drawings to paint on. The software is GPL'd, without DRM :) As with the Humble Bundles, you can choose how much you'd like to pay, and how the proceeds are split between any of the authors and others."

You're bang-on. Eric Seigne has a history of spamming his software in inappropriate forums, e.g.:

From http://www.linux-archive.org/edubuntu-user/709900-pay-what-you-want-educational-bundle.html - As of 10/7 all of the software was french only. There are claims that the software has been translated into english but the QA guy inside me has to wonder exactly how good that translation was / is going in less than a weeks time.
And for the life of me I crawled all over this guys ftp site, I can't find any source code either.
Methinks someone needs a lesson in the meaning of free open source software. It doesn't mean randomly selling your software so you can hire people to translate it into english so you can sell more software.
