+<h2>Successful Resistance Against Nonfree Software</h2>
+
+<p>Our aim in this section is to show examples of how 
+people have successfully resisted and replaced nonfree 
+software in educational institutions by various means, 
+such as by talking to schools administrators and by 
+setting up freedom and privacy respecting platforms for 
+remote education.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the items below include examples of web-based 
+videoconferencing software. We have verified that in some 
+cases they require to run nonfree JavaScript code to be 
+usable. <strong>The GNU Project warns against <a 
+href="/philosophy/javascript-trap.html">the JavaScript 
+trap</a></strong> and is providing guidance to the 
+developers of these platforms so that they can either 
+<em>eliminate it entirely</em> or <a 
+href="/software/librejs/free-your-javascript.html">
+<em>free the code</em></a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you would like to set up an instance of Jitsi Meet on 
+your own server, we recommend that you do NOT install the 
+standard release, because it does not indicate clearly the 
+licensing of the JavaScript code. Instead, install the <a 
+href="https://vcs.fsf.org/?p=jitsi-ansible.git";>FSF's 
+cleaned-up version of Jitsi Meet</a>, which does clearly 
+state the licensing.</p>
+
+<h3>Examples</h3>
+
+<ul>
+   <li><a 
+   
href="https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/fsf-gives-freedom-respecting-videoconferencing-to-all-associate-members";>
+   The Free Software Foundation runs an instance of Jitsi Meet 
+   on its servers</a> and makes it available to its associate 
+   members.</li>
+
+   <li>Free software activists in Valencia, Spain, have set up  
+   <a href="https://bbb.valenciatech.com/b/";>a server running 
+   BigBlueButton</a>, an advanced web conferencing system that 
+   features sharing of media files and documents, whiteboard, and 
+   other capabilities. Although this platform is free software, 
+   work is currently being done on this implementation so that it 
+   will clearly show the JavaScript licensing. Read 
+   <a href="https://bbb.valenciatech.com/b/";>more about 
+   BigBlueButton</a>.</li>
