I understand your annoyance at the fact that some students will get

who are more "into" open source will be left out in the cold. To them
I would say, reserve your energy for programmes like GSoC which do
seem to mostly do the right thing.
On that point, LtU linked to a paper [1] describing Scratch recently.
It's quite a good read, also mentions how kids learn the value of open
source and collaboration using Scratch.
To the OP, welcome to the real world, get used to it, or subvert it. :)
