[Fsf-friends] Indian Prez uses non-free sw

[Manilal]

The news I have brought into the list was not intended on the VS issue. I
am not interested in people such VS and President. I am mostly concerned
with the common people who will get a wrong indication about Linux and
Free Software. In this case the only thing we can do is urge the president
to use GNU/Linux(I think there is no need of training for such people)

Manilal
