somebody took the liberty to protest .. rather than in a private conference
elsewhere</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

rebels have historically been very responsible people......that is
the part which is in question right now...rebels try resolution before
confrontation ......</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

'BOYCOTT NOVELL" - however we need to work with some of them like the
IEEE , the gentleman who came with Arun the other day, who has done a
lot for free software ( sorry sir once again ) - and have a democratic way of
protesting too </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=166194505-18112008>i suggest we have a protest/grafitti stall from now on
in our programmes.......where all of us can criticise fsf-india, any political
party which is supporting free software and so on - but when this happens
without responsibility - then we have to have these unfortunate posts - which
makes me very sad - especially when folks are putting their heart and sould into
this work </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

been committed by (a) humiliating an individual who protests against a non-free
incursion inside a Free Software conference and disseminates non-free ideology
and (b) protecting the non-free intruder to display their non-free trickery
without objections. Novell has succeeded in driving the wedge, inflicting a kind
of perfect damage to a contributors' community and getting away
scot-free.<BR><BR>CK Raju<BR></BODY></HTML>
