AICTE sends inspectors to engineering institutions for approving their courses and also for 'so called' quality certification of NBA. All FOSSilosophy aside, they immediately reject FOSS as part of the software available for computer labs, library and otherwise. They want proofs of bills and licences/renewals - and all this is STRICTLY as NASSCOM or those non free software business people want. > Again, what is the context here? Where are these AICTE inspectors > coming to? Why exactly should we be worried? If these inspectors dont come and send report, no institute can get the approval to run any AICTE approved technical course. this is part of approval process. Its inspection!!! And the kinds of people who come for this inspection is VERY WELL known to all of us. If you need any more briefs, proofs, kindly visit any technical institution during their AICTE approval process. I am writing this mail because several institutions have revealed that AICTE inspectors SPECIFICALLY asked for non free software with their bills and licenses while rejecting FOSS. -- Mohit Singh GNU/Linux User Group - Meerut _______________________________________________ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
