I am interpreting this name in exactly the same way. If we(viksit and me) are right, and that was the intention by the society, then the name is dangerously deceptive. We haven't achieved software freedom yet, and in any case, we should always emphasize that fighting for freedom is a lifelong process - as they say "Fighting to get freedom is not enough, we have to keep fighting forever to preserve it". - Sandip _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
