The progressive introduction of the free software in the university areas, it´s accompanied of a speech constructed on the controversies around this technology. For the analysis of this problem we use the model of “controversial spaces” proposed by Nudler, defining one of these spaces about the application of the computer technologies in the university educations. The supposition is that the debate about the copyleft is reaching also to the pedagogic speech that accompanies on the applications of these technologies. This is the model we have tried to apply to the study of how such controversies are formulated in the diffusion of the free software in the teaching of the public Valencian universities. In this first approximation probably the most showy result is that the controversies do not reach to public sphere, is restricted to the area of the technical personnel, while the institution assumes aftercosts for it introduction.
