Hi, just signed up to Fritzing. I am a Secondary teacher in Auckland New Zealand. is there a Education license available and at what price? Thankyou
Did you pay for your students? Or did they pay for their own downloads? Or pay once for a shared login?
Good morning,
I did a bit more research.
With Fritzing, you only pay for the download. This helps partially fund the ongoing development of the project.
https://fritzing.org/download/
Fritzing’s source code is licensed under the GNU GPL v3. It would be possible to create custom versions of Fritzing and redistribute them, as long as they are also released under the GPL.
That’s why I paid for Fritzing a few years ago and then made it available to my students, or rather installed it on the school computers.
On Linux, this was especially straightforward with the AppImage: the file simply needed to be made executable and could then be launched directly. No actual installation was required.
I’ll ask again in the forum with a new thread.
Best regards,
Harald
