Its very rare to see FOSS products that > makes huge money as far as i know. > huge , good and bad are all relative , in fact the whole concept of money is skewed . Why does one only try to see things with the only one point of view . What happens to the tons of people who make money using Foss and pay there Taxes to Govt and help in the economy . Why do we not consider this as the one of the ways to get educated when colleges mafias with there money making schemes are running amok . Why is that someone needs to have some X amount to be consider successful . I think even the success criteria in the present society needs to be re looked into . Now we are reaching a point of being way too OT :-) - Satya _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
