You are patently wrong ! Yesterday the deal was signed by the
West Bengal Govt. and M$. We have to talk to the political
leadership about the value of *free* software and the *freedom*
that it brings along, all the more. The technical issues can
wait and are not that pressing :(
Better still, we shall not go on talking to the political leadership;
we shall go to the schools and start our work amongst the students.
We shall tell them about recipes, elephants and a small peg on the
ground, about the jailing of Dmitry, about Prof. Felten and more.
