Subject: 

I presented a paper on the social fairness of software at the just concluded 
34th Regional Science Conference at Thrissur.  The core theme is attached 
herewith for remarks and suggestions from members of this list.

I deliberately avoided the terminology of 'Free Software' as the audience had 
been economists and planning experts.
