If people  bother to  create graphics of  the term `free  software' in
their respective  languages, I volunteer to create  a `translations in
Indian languages` page for FSF India.

The graphics should be small, and in png / jpeg format. (No gifs).

If possible,  use a  gpl'ed fonts.  No need for  fancy art  work; just
black letters on white background.

Why graphics??

Because ISCII is on the way out; being replaced by Unicode but several
legacy  Operating systems do  not support  Unicode.  That  will create
problems for  people using legacy OS'es,  which is a  crucial and very
important audience.
