If the person is a user of a nonfree system such as Windows already, you can say, "I'm not a [Windows|Mac] user, but I can show you how to do it on GNU/Linux."
Actually, there is an important situation where this would be a good deed on
your part. The thing is, you're not noticing one key point: the university
would probably help him/her, but only if he/she uses Windows (which is very
sad, to say the least, but it does mean that you are not his/her only hope
with regard to using the proprietary program), or alternatively there is some
university computer that has the nonfree program installed on it. But if you
are preventing this person from being compelled to install Windows or Mac OS
X, then you are at least mitigating the harm to him/her being done.
