I partly agree with Renjith. My agreement is in the point that KSEB should publish the source. However, I am told that they are not averse to this idea. Apparently, they didn't think this would be of use to anyone else, so they did not publish it. I guess we can ask them to do so.
My understanding of how they got to write their own software shows that they are also aware of the philosophy of Free Software and do agree with it. In fact, they were not familiar with the technology and had to undergo training in GNU/Linux to develop the software. I am sure that many in the team will be demoralised if Oruma is thrown out in favour of something that is non-free. Perhaps, this is an opportunity for the community to tell them the importance of publishing the source under GPL and becoming part of the community.
