[Fsf-friends] Indian Express

[Manilal K M]

We had demonstrated the software before Sajith at IT Mission. He then commented that they opt Mandrake for this purpose.
I think there is no difference between Mandrake and RedHat. The copyright issues were not raised by Sajith but complained only about the functioning of the Software package developed by CDIT. I don't blame him for this matter. Because raising such issues(copyright) is not his duty. The Akshaya logo was printed on all CD's. But the RedHat logo is printed only on the CDs which contained the RedHat distro.
