[renuka prasad]

CONGRATS  for arranging another awareness program and making many more aware
of free softwares and the freedom that we all should have .

> Questions
> --------------
> How secure is  free software ?
>

my views on this is that free software is as much as you can make , because
every one who uses have the freedom to report or make changes and if they
are being responsible then they will either report or correct -- so as free
software is as secure as we can imagine ...

fs is as secure as security can be.  remaining secure is a perennial problem
of nodes in a network
what we need is a potentially good architecture, and support for security,
and fs has this



> Why doesnt it give us a warranty
>

it does not gives warranty because it is the the  user who has to decide
whether that particular software is safe or not


WARRANTY is not given even by paid softwares ------------ but warranty can
be purchases from free software companies !!!

-------------------------------

> What are the business models in free software ?
>

this one -- i think we have very flexible models --- no idea -- some one can
add on this
