Follow-up Comment #2, task #14592 (project administration):

Unimestre is a student information system that is developed by a Brazilian
for-profit organization of the same name. However, the student information
system in question has an interesting particularity: It also allows the
student, his parents, and teachers, to access the system through a web
browser.

However, together with this feature, unfortunately, the proprietors of
Unimestre force the website visitor/guest/client to use non-free software
through JavaScript. It turns out that most of the usage could be solved, in
the server-side, by using HTML forms with hidden inputs with the appropriate
values and also a visible "send" button. And also for some cases, a simple
URL/link could be provided in the server-side. However, none of these where
made by the proprietors of Unimestre, because they choose to use non-free
JavaScript instead.

What Eu Sou Mestre does is provide ways to replace the non-free software usage
with alternative ways friedly to free/libre software. Morever, Eu Sou Mestre
doesn't depend on non-free software, because it doesn't use any functions/code
that comes from the non-free JavaScript software provided by Unimestre, and
also doesn't depend on the result of what those non-free JavaScript do.
