How many projects across CERN do you think would use KiCad if it were somewhat knocked shape?

Going OT but staying on this theme: It seems likely that public money across many governments is spent on closed source software for circuit design. Even probably across the projects in a single developed country I imagine it might be an economy to pay for the software to be modified. Such changes then being a gift to society at large.

What do electronic engineering students use at present - presumably a range of CAD systems, but is KiCad up there?

Academics (in the UK) is there any effort towards making free-libre software available through collaboration of different institutes?
