Hi Arun,<br> I guess you are referring to my <a href="http://brainstorms.in/?p=243">blog. </a> <a href="http://www.kenneyjacob.com/2008/12/12/fsfsin-and-free-software-nonsense/">Kenney's blog</a> and the flame war going on at <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/ilug-tvm/t/6ee4f0d7d60b260b">ilug Trivandrum </a> I just wanted convey that there are lots of guys jumping into the bandwagon ( Mainly on policy matters) with out properly understanding the philosophy. They use free software as a propaganda tool and secretly use Closed source.<br>
I pointed out at the venue that the JavaFX technology is not available on the free platform. But the speaker quickly wound up and declared it is time for lunch. There were some prominant activists around . No one came forward to support me at the venue.<br>
<br> I think I also have some freedom in pointing out mistakes on my blog.<br> 73s<br>Sunil VU2SWX <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 7:52 PM, Arun M <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:arun@gnu.org.in">arun@gnu.org.in</a>></span> wrote:<br>
