i believe that the free software movement is kind of socialist movement. through which any one can be an owner of computer set of legal professional software (like open office, gimp, blender, qt, python, gcc and lot of other application, by using it we can find some income) with less than Rs.15000(in india).
since the technology is open any one can learn this products and give support to others; "in other words we can use locally available technology with locally available resources, and can work in the local market". this will reduce the capital requred to start a company. so this will generate more employment, and can get a good reasonable income. the term good reasonable dose not mean that surplus payment like in IT BOOM. more people employed means less inequality. less time to engage in illegal activity; so less chance to become a terrorist. note those news reported it boom caused more drug usage, and tendancy to waste the food incresed in major cities of india.[thanks to recesion, i believe now it tends to decrease] i believe it just because of forced ineqality i believe one become a terrorist when we kill his freedom. so free software prevent one becoming a terror. just note that 99% of the free software activists are socially commited. from my point of view free software and free information is the best solution for a country like india. but till now i could not practically prove that free software can generate a local employment. red hat and sun are not an example for me. now i'm in a mission to prove my statement. so first i need to convice my family. that's what i'm trying for last few moths. ** --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
