As pointed out by KG, the sources are available (not restricted by any licence). Where they are available? To whom they are available? should be answered and facilitated. The facts are: 1. There is a BOSS team in CDAC. 2. The team is working on FOSS 3. Government of India is funding the efforts Now, how best to get these efforts to the larger community? Helping those who take the initiative is the way.
