Abstract

This paper is aiming to highlight the way in which GNU General Public License (GNU/GPL) is influencing the studying programs in the field of Systems Engineering, Automatics and Applied Informatics specialization, in the way that it is offering to the users the freedom of developing different packages and informatics applications, necessary to accumulate new knowledge for the students. The objective of this paper is to present the opportunities offered by the GNU General Public License, which will allow the implementation in the classical process of training, of a studying platform with a great impact on the way of thinking and quick understanding by the users.
