Hi Tarun,
It looks like you are thoroughly confused about "Free Software movement", "Open source",
"GNU", "Linux" and the "spirit". I humbly request you to go through
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/
If you already know about the above webpage and still want to use the terminology you
have used, perhaps, this is not the place you might want to be in. No offence intended.
Look at the archives and you will know what I mean.
best regards
