To be honest though, the way of getting in there is not to talk about freedoms (I've lost count of how many people turn off when I say freedom).

Looking at the case study for tux paint, I still get the impression they miss the point on free software, yes tux paint is free as in cost, but its not clear this is meant to be free as in freedom. http://opensourceschools.org.uk/case-studies.html
