This did cross my mind while listening to PC (Palaniappan Chidambaram - not personal computer) during his budget speech. He did mention taxes on "customised software" too. Now, how does 12% excise on package software work to be more expensive than 12.5 (or more as Rahul puts it) service tax on customised software? Is this not FOSS unfriendly? -- Mahesh T.
