I hope, those who criticised baskar should answer now.. even in GNU license, it is given that the software is free, but we can charge for training and other services.. Baskar has been regularly posting his FOSS seminar events here for past few years. His efforts being seen as an example, and guidelines on how we can do.
IF any one want to setup labs, and take seminars on FOSS in engineering colleges, i think, baskar had offered all his materials.. (pls correct me if i am wrong).. SO dont discourage such persons by this negative comments.. In my view, even if we suppose, baskar is posting it for self-advertisement, what is the wrong in it?
