Likewise, there are people who go around to people trying to get back
into the work force, and they teach these skills.  I have wondered if it
would be great for them to say to people with little money to spare for
expensive office suites "hey, we can give you this office suite at no
cost"

I think the main problem right now is the ubiquity of MS office.
