'Edgi' is very separate from the so-called 'ouster'. Actually their
responsibilities were modified. Some other controversies regarding
their partisan role is also known.

The 'Edgi' part is well known to some CPI(M) leaders at least. These
were discussed in the recent FOSS convention in Kolkata. Offers of
unlimited number of Free PCs (if the wretched proprietary OS is
purchased) are common.

It is also true that some 'FOSS activists' with strong business
interests act in an non inclusive way. ..and mutual tussles are but
natural.

FOSS can never be compatible with capitalism.
