Dear friends,
My friend vijayan tried to send a message to fsf-friends which couldnt
reach... you all.. so.. i thought I will forward the mail...
Can anybody tell why it could not reach the list. I hope it is not done
purposefully. If done so.. i think the list lost its.. 'Free' ness and the
boasted openess to criticism.

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<fsf-friends at gnu.org.in>:
CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

Dear Friends,
=A0
Why did not the organiser release the code of conduct that inculde prohibit=
ing the use of properity software in the venue when a participant apply to =
conduct their program? When the organisers failed to issue such whip during=
the stage of organising and what is the point in expecting the audience to=
raise this issue at the venue. Most of the time the audience are passive a=
nd it seldom be spontaneous unless it is organised. I expect the FSF india =
should issue a statement in thier website explaining their position on this=
issue and=A0should not hesitate to come forward with an apology.
