It is good that you deleted Google Play, since that has a back door and maybe other malicious functionalities. But there is no way to make all of a tablet's features work without nonfree software; some peripherals require nonfree drivers. Can you help raise money to hire someone to work on reverse-engineering those interfaces? In the mean time, if I were setting up a school, as a matter of principle I wouldn't give the students tablets. > Thanks for the information.

But your project does not use all the peripherals of that computer -- perhaps there is a model that can do _what your project needs_ without nonfree software. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
