The aim of this paper is to present the remote sensing, the free open source software and their consequences on scientific research and education. This paper deals with some points which seem particularly interesting. The first part will define the concept of education, scientific research in the context of free open source software. The free open source software is expressed in the license (GNU project) on which its use must comply. A second part will describe the role of free open source software in education and scientific research. The third part will presents the remote detection and free open source software and the work we do with the two main software we use in the research.
