Don't forget the SAS institute! Same business model!
2 comments

SAS, matlab, ersi they all have the same business model. Subsidize students so they don’t know a competing tech and also capitalize and nurture corporate lock in.

I could rant about sas for ages. Its like it was purpose built to encourage anti patterns and Its own docs show code style is a foreign concept to the company.

Oracle pushes Java in universities too.
