Friends:
Here are two commentaries on why knowledge must be free by two of my colleagues
at the Centre for Internet and and Society. One is a video interview and the
other is in plain text. Both will be of interest to anyone interested in
openness.

Unfortunately, most science managers in India continue to support the corporate
publishers who privatize public knowledge with no thought to the thousands of
students, teachers and researchers of India. Not even the leftists in India
have raised this issue so far. The least we can do is to mandate open access
to publications resulting from all publicly funded research.
