[Fsf-friends] Free(dom) Software?

[Manoj tr]

Hai All,

          Free  as in freedom is a good idea. We can use freedom instead of the cunning word "free". But one thing is important. We will accept all free software movments as a freedom mind and prevent all things that against the freedom s/w with no excuse.

Manoj
