Dear Friends,

GNU Swatantra and GNU Sudandiram are the same as GNU Freedom.

GNU  Freedom may  be an  appropriate  label to  present GNU  Software,
Philosophy and Culture to a person who is totally new to Free Software
in India, and may be even  world wide.  Supposing FSF India desires to
release  a package  of  Free Software  to  the public  in India,  just
imagine a white shrink wrapped box with the following label:

+--------------------------------+
|                                |
|             GNU                |  <- very bold letters
|            Freedom             |
|                                |
|   *Swatantra*Sudandiram*etc*   |  <- smaller font written in the
|    *available*in*indic*lang*   |     respective language script
|           *scripts*            |      
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|           GNU LOGO             |    
|                                |
|                                |
|                                |
|     Free Software Included:    |
| gcc*bc*bash*gnome*gnucash*tar  |  <- List of useful free software    
| wget*emacs*cvs*lyx*calpp*etc   |     included in CD/DVD discs
|                                |
|Publisher: FSF India            |
+--------------------------------+  

GNU  Freedom  could  serve  as  title  for  periodicals  that  release
latest/beta versions of free software.

We  could have  GNU  Freedom meetings,  etc.   all of  which serve  to
present free software to public for wider use.

The GNU GPL  means freedom to us, and life  to software. Therefore, we
may stress boldly  the freedom that is at the  heart of free software,
without which there would have been no free software.

Regards,
Ramanraj.
