Something for to consider:

"Open source software has fueled innovation for decades, providing the building blocks for the internet and the modern cloud. Today [...] every company that depends on software—both vendors and customers—will need to be aligned (in other words, contribute in time, money and software back to the community) to succeed."

Read this article and replace "company" with "college/university."
