claims to be coming more &lt;a

designers of their MS-Office software, a competitor to &lt;a

 This screenshot clearly shows the &amp;#8216;Warning: Open source&amp;#8217;

-&lt;p&gt;The current position of FOSS in India is strong:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the past decade open source software has 
become popular with technology users in India. The benefits of open source - 
affordability, availability of source code and freedom of choice - have made 
open source a preferred platform for many innovative Indian organizations and 
individuals&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;The government of India has been involved as well, setting up a 
National Resource Center for Free and Open Source Software (NRCFOSS) in 2005, 
and the Institute for Open Technologies and Applications (IOTA) in 
2007.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;IOTA&amp;#8217;s mandate is to promote open source 
software in government and academia. IOTA provides information on open source 
software and open standards to organizations looking to understand how open 
source can fit into their IT infrastructure. IOTA also offers training on Linux 
and OpenOffice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Federal and state goverments are leveraging open source to provide 
services to their citizens as well as run their offices at a lower cost. 
Numerous organizations promote open source in India for these gains in 
efficiency and in the reach of providing government services to a larger part 
of the population.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

coming more &lt;a

designers of their MS-Office software, a competitor to &lt;a

 This screenshot clearly shows the &amp;#8216;Warning: Open source&amp;#8217;

as of today, April 1st 2009, &lt;a
