Nonfree test-supervising software
dimanche 13 avril 2014 à 14:00San Jose State University (and probably other universities too) requires some students to run nonfree test-supervising software used to impose a regime that must drive people nuts.
I'd fail a test in algebra, if I had to spend an hour answering questions while never looking away from the camera. And if I were not allowed to look down at the keyboard, I would make typos too. A program that imposes requirements like this must be considered malware.
But even if it were not known to be malware, it would be unacceptable if it is non-free, which is surely the case.
