OP was talking about academia in general, and not just about CS-academia, which is of course a lot more sensitive to open source software.
In traditional (= non-CS) academia, proprietary software is still very much the norm, and as long as institutes get a free license for academic usage they also don't seem to care about open source too much. I don't know how much precedent there is, but such recognition from traditional academia still seems to be pretty rare and worthy of highlighting.
