While I wouldn't really wish BOSS Linux on anyone and I am not a fan of the entire initiative, I would hope that advertising on these mediums increases awareness of Linux and FOSS in general and it is very much welcome IMO to engage in commercial activities if it serves that purpose. As this is a government sponsored initiative, my concern is for my tax money to be used in a effective way to improve the life of the people in this country and if by deploying FOSS we can accelerate the process, then it is money well spend.
