Dear FOSSouls,
It is a matter of great concern for all of us that proliferation of FOSS is being severely countered by 'AICTE Inspector Raj' in engineering institutions. We have no evidences as of now - because we have not involved 'TEHELKA.COM' till now, but the evidences are the experiences of may heads of institutions. The AICTE inspectors insist on showing the bills of softwares licensed/purchased and they reject FOSS as 'Free Ka hai ji - hence you use'. It is a challenge for all of us to 'educate/inspire/compel' AICTE and its NBA arm to respect FOSS. This is not an intention to malign AICTE or any of its practice anyway. If you are evidence savvy, kindly be present when an AICTE appointed team visits an engineering college for inspection. They are always interested in looking at 'LEGAL SOFTWARE' and their definition of LEGAL is the binary only proprietary EULA given by 'The Redmond Codelifter' and the like MOST RESPECTFULLY endorsed by NASSCOM and the ministry of HRD, IT and others. -- Mohit Singh GNU/Linux User Group - Meerut _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
