From the webpage:
One if the biggest impediments to FOSS adoption by Karnataka
government is that Nudi does not work on Linux.
So, is that really a problem? As I understand it scim works pretty well
under linux to type in Kannada. So, should we worry whether Nudi works
or not under linux? If by "working under linux" one means the
keymapping, it is available under scim as kn-kgp.mim (the latest debian
and derived distros have that file m17n-contrib).
My issue with unicode, as on date, is the improper rendering. Yes, fonts
are also quite unusable. One has to just look at the Kannada webpages
on the net and see the spacings et al. :-(
FOSS enthusiasts (programmers) should first address this issue of font
rendering. If and when this is achieved, I see no need for nudi to be
released under GPL.
In addition to this, looking through some of the unicode documentation,
I have not across a way to typeset the vedic notations, etc. I would
like to hear about those issues as well.
Just my thoughts,
Regards,
