Academic pricing for Free software?

[Michael Crusoe]

While chatting at a security presentation today at ASU, the topic of 
academic pricing, and how it is ultimately beneficial for the companies 
in the long run, came up.

The idea of paying for mindshare isn't new, just ask Microsoft. Maybe 
the free software community needs to reach out more the feartile minds 
of the college set?

I think an attractive display combined with free copies of Debian 
Gnu/Linux|*BSD, GNUWIN and the like with contact information for PLUG 
and ASULUG would be very effective.

This might be an excellent project for AZOTO.

Does this sound viable to anybody else?
