    I like seeing the Krita suggestion, but to just call it “open-source” with no clarification on that means would lead me to believe kids would skip over the hyphenated adjective without realizing it is often the key to finding other good, open-source software (e.g. a “open-source alternative to Reddit” query should lead one to Lemmy). I’m hoping it has a section or callout or even a vocab word on another page but I’m skeptical.

    (This is putting aside my quarrels with OSI, FSF, SPDX for the larger picture)

      Considering Linux have 15% marketshare in India, I’m pretty sure the curriculum already cover what open source is.

      Not sure about this particular textbook, but ours did explain what open-source is. So I’m guessing it might have been covered in a previous chapter.
