The video said nothing about the use of free software.
Is it  because  IT@School is not using free software

From 2007-2008 educational year onwards, all schools
that follows Kerala State syllabus (around 2832
highschools) migrated to Free Software. They use a
debian based distribution called IT@School
GNU/Linux
