Sounds like an excellent document! Email it on and I'll have it neatly
butchered. The web portal claim is remarkable, as are claims of limited
analysis capabilities.

Some so called SDI experts feel that FOSS SDI cannot perform at-par
with Proprietary SDI.
Please provide examples to fight a case from an Indian state which
swears by Free and Open Source Software. We can never expect a better
level playing field.
Kerala - India
Here are some excerpts from a document that has false claims
supporting Proprietary Software.
However, it is worthwhile to mention here that the OSS (Open Source
Software) does not match the advanced functionalities of many of the
commercial (proprietory) software that is in the market. Image
processing and analysis capabilities of the open source software is
not comparable to the commercial software when one require to carry
out advanced data manipulations, image fusion, 3D modeling,
ortho-correction, auto-georeferencing, stereo-image/air photo
interpretation, advanced geospatial analysis etc., In such cases,
certain proprietary software become an integral part of the Spatial
Data Infrastructures, which can not be avoided. At a later stage the
some of the proprietary software need to be purchased.
It is a well known fact that web portal that run with OSS are neither
OGC-compliant nor
interoperable. At the present juncture it is only possible to
establish the KSDI Geoportal
with the available COTS enterprise software.
The detailed PDF document will be emailed on demand.
