[FSF India] Re: [LIG] Re: WB Govt ties up with MSFT

[Prakash Advani]

Dear Raju,

This is execellent if everyone can send out this document to their respective 
state goverments. I hope modifications to the documents are allowed and 
encouraged  GPL ? ;-)

I would also recommend you add something about localisation issues. In case 
of Proprietory operating systems localisation is decided by the company only 
if they see $$$$ coming in not in the interest of the people. Where as in 
case of GNU/Linux anyone can add the Indian Language layer depending on the 
needs. In fact all the localisation efforts so far have been started with 
Goverments funds (CDAC/NCST). By putting their efforts GNU/Linux they funds 
would be better utilised.

Regards
Prakash
